Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cabot Nutrition at 100% against Cold Stone's 19%. Cabot Nutrition also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Cold Stone's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 24) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
