Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coopai at 100% against Yard Planner's 39%. Coopai also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and rating (5.0 vs 3.4). Yard Planner's advantage is ratings volume (381 vs 1) and chart position (#51 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
