Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: API Bot at 100% against HTTP requests's 20%. API Bot also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 14 months). HTTP requests's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
