Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Symbols Explorer at none against REST API Client's shown. Symbols Explorer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (26 vs 6). REST API Client's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
