Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Upside Drinks at 86% against Liquor Connect's 12%. Upside Drinks also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Liquor Connect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
