Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PapiRiver holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PapiRiver has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of PapiRiver's written reviews are positive against 100% of Helicopter by CodeHS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
