"I am sorry, I couldn't help you" would be better said as "I'm sorry that I couldn't help you" and would be referring to something in the past. "I am afraid that I won't be able to help you" is referring to something in the present or future.

@okcool12: hi! I disagree that one of them is better than the other. The right use depends on the context :)

@helloadi: when I said "better" I was referring to the grammar/punctuation of the first sentence. I wasn't comparing the two sentences, which you are right in saying that both would be correct in the right context.
