Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pinvaders at none against Helix Runner!'s shown. Pinvaders also leads on update cadence (every 15 months vs every 30 months). Helix Runner!'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
