Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stream to Studio at none against OMTake's 1. Stream to Studio also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.6). OMTake's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
