Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Helmarr at Free against ProxMate Pro's $12.99. Helmarr also leads on ratings volume (193 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). ProxMate Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
