Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hollywood Connection at 4.8 against Rainbow Dance Competition's 4.1. Hollywood Connection also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 46%) and device support (3 vs 1). Rainbow Dance Competition's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
