Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Beat Saber
Execution · Pure Mechanics
VR rhythm game about slicing color-coded blocks to music with lightsabers.
Geometry Dash
Execution · Pure Mechanics
One-button rhythm platformer where the hardest levels demand thousands of perfect attempts.
Beat Saber leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Geometry Dash leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution10 vs 10
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Pure full-body rhythm precision at speed
Geometry Dash
Frame-perfect one-button timing over relentless sequences
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Beat Saber
Patterns are fully known and fixed
Geometry Dash
Fully deterministic; identical every attempt
Optimization2 vs 3
Geometry Dash leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Swing-angle scoring technique and map memorization
Geometry Dash
Memorizing layouts is required but solved quickly
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
