Which one gives less handwork/correction, this one or WormUp, or is it more or less the same? Does WormUp have advantages over this one?

I have both systems and have had the following experience.
If you look into it, the Plastia Urbalive worm composter is not as bad as its reputation. But due to the plastic production, the climate in the worm composter is always more humid and you have to check daily (wetness).
Harvesting the compost is also wetter and therefore stickier than with the WormUp.
For beginners and those who want to have it more comfortable, I definitely recommend the WormUp.
Due to its clay material, it usually has an ideal climate and harvesting the worm compost is simply a pleasure, crumbly, slightly moist, fragrant soil.

I would never buy the Plastia Urbalive worm composter again. I used it with only one stick and it didn't work at all. The worms crawl everywhere and then rot. Search online for the Kassensturz report on worm composters. It failed miserably there too. Then rather WurmUp.
But you have to watch and care for the worms in any case. Greetings Max

I have the Plastia and in my opinion the WormUP is less work. You have to drain the liquid regularly and sometimes move the worms from the bottom tank to the top. The WormUp does not have a fluid reservoir. However, the Plastia model is easier to clean because no algae form there.
