Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sonic Prime Dash at none against Sanic Ball's shown. Sonic Prime Dash also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (57K vs 1.2K). Sanic Ball's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
