AirLaunch and BetaBuilder are similar in that they prepare files for OTA 
installation, but BetaBuilder has more manual steps and requires 
separate apps to build the .ipa and upload to a server. AirLaunch does 
all that by itself and is integrated with LiveCode.

The differences between Android and iOS installations seem pretty minor 
to me though. The extra click to accept permissions isn't much of an 
inconvenience, and has the advantage of allowing you to abort the 
installation if you want.
