Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: FluxPlay at Free against DancePicker's $2.99. FluxPlay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months). DancePicker's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.5). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
