Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Helpline at none against Gov Forms's shown. Helpline also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Gov Forms's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
