Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PrintedWaste at none against Helmarr's 10. PrintedWaste also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.4 vs 26.0). Helmarr's advantage is ratings volume (195 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
