Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OU Kosher at every 2 months against Congregation Beth Torah's every 49 months. OU Kosher also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 3). Congregation Beth Torah's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
