Shorty vs. Sidepath: The Difference?

It seems the cloning trend has entered self-hosted redirection services as well. I’d love to know what advantages newly-launched paid software Sidepath has compared to the slightly more established free software Shorty. Anyone?

And let’s not forget that Shorty’s feature set seems much more robust, e.g. multiple URL generation methods. Of course, I’m basing this on Sidepath’s demo movie and my personal install of Shorty, so correct me if I’m wrong.

One last thing: Where’s the working online demo of Sidepath? Before forking out US$10.75, I’d definitely like to try it out first. Funny that Shorty has a working demo, eh? Not that I’d need one though since it’s free.

P.S.: Yep, it’s most likely that this is a case of two competitive products launching at about the same time.
