Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Helios Run at 5.0 against Terra Smash's 3.1. Helios Run also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). Terra Smash's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
