Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: SQL Multi Studio at every 5 days against HTTPBot's every 3 weeks. SQL Multi Studio also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). HTTPBot's advantage is chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
