Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Coffio at Free against Single Origin's $0.99. Coffio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Single Origin's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
