Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: D&D Character at 100% against Second Edition Character Sheet's 19%. D&D Character also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.7). Second Edition Character Sheet's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (105 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
