Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Total Beverage at 4.6 against Starbuds Colorado's 3.9. Total Beverage also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and ratings volume (229 vs 41). Starbuds Colorado's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
