Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swipe Rush at none against Wave Dash's 9. Swipe Rush also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Wave Dash's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 2) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
