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.

Both are free to download. Aria2 Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and BitManager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
