Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MishiPay at none against The Container Store's shown. MishiPay also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 40%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Container Store's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 102) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MishiPay against 4.8 for The Container Store. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Container Store has 15K ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of MishiPay's written reviews are positive against 40% of The Container Store's.
