Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OTA Uploader at none against iBeta's 5. OTA Uploader also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). iBeta's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
