Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 11Start at none against Cogs's 4. 11Start also leads on price ($0.99 vs $4.99). Cogs's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (55% vs 33%). On ads, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
