Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aria2 Manager at 4.7 against BitManager's 3.7. Aria2 Manager also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 3). BitManager's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
