Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Jumping Josh at none against Santa Fighter's shown. Jumping Josh also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Santa Fighter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 37 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
