Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HEX Editor at every 2 months against SQLite's every 8 months. HEX Editor also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 14%) and ratings volume (24 vs 7). SQLite's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
