Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SQL Server Mobile Client at 77% against HTTP requests's 20%. SQL Server Mobile Client also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months). HTTP requests's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
