Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: COLDEST at none against The Cupboard's 6. COLDEST also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 68%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). The Cupboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#68 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Cupboard sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. COLDEST asks for nothing beyond the download.
COLDEST holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: COLDEST has 2.2K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of COLDEST's written reviews are positive against 68% of The Cupboard's.
COLDEST ships an update every 3 weeks, The Cupboard fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
