Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Just Dance 2016 at none against Newton's Law's shown. Just Dance 2016 also leads on chart position (#83 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.2). Newton's Law's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
