Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HeliDirect at every 2 months against H160's every 15 months. HeliDirect also leads on ratings volume (676 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). H160's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
