as far as I understand these 2 services use different algorithms, where
OSRM is very fast in calculating and guarantees the best route (according
to the map data), ORS can handle multiple means of transport much cheaper
(e.g. bike routing, truck routing, foot routing) and has features like
avoid area which I don't know if OSRM does offer.

Cheers,
Martin
