Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Crouton at none against Tasted's shown. Crouton also leads on chart position (#87 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 2). Tasted's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
