Hexiled's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 73%). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Alpha Omega is free to download; Hexiled costs $3.99 up front. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hexiled sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Alpha Omega against 4.7 for Hexiled. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 414, so its average is the more settled of the two.
