Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: D2 Helper at none against Sanctuary Stash's 2. D2 Helper also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Sanctuary Stash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
