Sorry I couldn’t be more help vs Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful

These phrases are both correct, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'Sorry I couldn't be more help' is a casual and shortened way of expressing regret for not being able to assist further. 'Sorry I couldn't be more helpful' is a more formal and complete version of the same sentiment.
