Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OTA Uploader at 5.0 against HTTPBot's 4.5. OTA Uploader also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). HTTPBot's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
