Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Type One Style at none against The Cupboard's 6. Type One Style also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 68%). The Cupboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and monetization model there is nothing between them.
