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).

Both are free to download. Second Edition Character Sheet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and D&D Character sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
