Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hyperest at none against REST API Client's shown. Hyperest also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). REST API Client's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
