Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PMI at none against Upwork's 2. PMI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Upwork's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
