Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTester at 5.0 against TestNav's 1.6. iTester also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). TestNav's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
