Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brewco at none against CoffeeBase's 11. Brewco also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). CoffeeBase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
