Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toast! at none against Cooped Up's 1. Toast! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months). Cooped Up's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 27). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
