Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dive Dash at Free against Speed Demons's $4.99. Dive Dash also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Speed Demons's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (235 vs 6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Dive Dash is free to download; Speed Demons costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Speed Demons holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Demons has 235 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Speed Demons's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dive Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Speed Demons ships an update every 6 days, Dive Dash every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
