Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DancePulse at none against iDanceCompete's 4. DancePulse also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). iDanceCompete's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
