Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geometry Dash Lite at none against Space Waves's 3. Geometry Dash Lite also leads on chart position (#3 vs #51) and review sentiment (70% vs 61%). Space Waves's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
