haven't
In your example there is no difference in meaning that I can see. But in many cases "used" and "have been using" have different meanings. E.g:
I have used italki. <-- one or more times
I have been using italki. <--- implies more than one times
I have not used italki. <-- implies 0 times
I have not been using italki. <--- implies 0 times recently, but one more more times in the past
Both of your sentences imply that you have used it multiple times in the past, but not recently.
