Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Helmarr at 4.8 against qBitConnect's 3.7. Helmarr also leads on ratings volume (192 vs 3). qBitConnect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Helmarr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. qBitConnect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Helmarr holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helmarr has 192 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Helmarr's written reviews are positive against 100% of qBitConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
