Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Container Store at 4.8 against Concierge's 3.0. The Container Store also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 2). Concierge'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.
