Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Execution · Pure Mechanics

Helix Jump
Tower layouts vary slightly but patterns repeat quickly

Combo and crit systems are shallow but real
Helix Jump
Almost nothing to plan beyond keeping the ball falling
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
