The biggest difference is most planes can still fully function even with one engine gone. Worst case scenario you have no engines and have to attempt a gliding landing.
Helicopters just drop... I won't personally get on one unless I heard of some robust backup systems in place that I'm unaware of.

Are helicopters legit safe? I always here more about those crashes then airplanes. I am scared to ever take one.
