Verdict
The Container Store and Kastkart both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Kastkart's written reviews are positive against 40% of The Container Store's. Kastkart also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Container Store's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
