Paletools and FC Helper do different jobs: Paletools is a keyboard-driven toolkit for sniping, SBC shortcuts and pack opening that you install as a bookmarklet or userscript, while FC Helper is a Chrome and Firefox extension that solves SBCs from your club and leaves trading out by design.
FC Helper is a free all-in-one extension for the EA FC Ultimate Team web app on Chrome, Firefox and Firefox for Android. Solve SBCs from cards you own, track Gallery sets, open packs and sell. Free for 50 solves a day, with an optional Premium subscription.

When Paletools is the right pick
Pick Paletools if sniping and keyboard shortcuts are how you play: its site lists keyboard sniping, lowest-price lookups and auto relist, and it reaches iOS and Android through a bookmarklet and Paledroid.
When FC Helper is the right pick
Pick FC Helper if you want SBCs solved from your club in one click, with packs, selling what you own and a card-set Gallery, installed from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons with nothing to drag to a bookmarks bar.
Where the two genuinely differ
Paletools is a toolkit built around the market and the keyboard; FC Helper is built around the SBC and pack routine. Neither is a subset of the other: Paletools has sniping that FC Helper leaves out on purpose, and FC Helper solves a challenge from your club, which Paletools' feature list does not include.
Installing differs most. Paletools is a bookmarklet you press after the Web App loads, or a Tampermonkey userscript, and it needs its Companion extension for prices; FC Helper installs from a store and loads with the page.
On cost, Paletools' site lists no plans and shows donate links; FC Helper is free for 50 solves a day, with Premium for Batch, Set and Repeat runs and Open all packs.
Can you use both?
Yes, though there is little reason to. Two extensions acting on the same Web App screens can interfere with each other, and if something misbehaves the first step is turning one off. Pick the one that fits how you play.
What neither of them does
Neither tool creates cards, changes what a pack contains or makes a challenge cheaper than your club allows. Anything promising more than that deserves a second look.
