Watch your GitHub Actions, with a concise overview of recent results and the ability to jump directly to test failures. - Watches up to 3 public GitHub repos without a subscription. - With a monthly or yearly subscription, you may add personal access tokens and follow as many public or private repos as you wish. - Conservatively allocates requests to ensure that GitHub's API request limits are never exceeded. Without an active subscription, Test Reflector watches up to 3 public GitHub repositories. Adding a monthly or annual subscription unlocks the ability to add personal access tokens, allowing the app to track private repositories as well as to check more frequently for updates. Note: the easiest way to get tokens into iOS at the moment is to use the Universal Clipboard with Continuity from Mac desktop or laptop computer. In the future we may add quicker ways to generate tokens from the app, but for now we're starting with simpler and more manual workflows.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OctView at none against Test Reflector's 2. OctView also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Test Reflector's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
