Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Helmarr at 76% against AiMaster's 29%. Helmarr also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). AiMaster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
