Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cool VPN Pro at Free against Stash's $5.99. Cool VPN Pro also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (40K vs 1.2K). Stash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
