Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AstorMemory at none against Cooped Up's 1. AstorMemory also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 17 months). Cooped Up's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
