Coop uses much more natural ingredients and is also cheaper. The Bud label is also clearly superior to the Migros Bio label. In contrast, the Migros salad dressing contains less animal products.

Migros organic yogurts contain "natural flavors", which are not permitted in Coop's organic yogurts with the Bud label: https://youtu.be/rkps6fwYFCk?t=33m57s
Organic milk from Migros is preserved using a process that is not permitted for organic milk from the Coop with the Bud label: https://www.ktipp.ch/artikel/d/bio-milch-nichtgleich-bio-milch

Economy: In 2015, Coop, Switzerland's number two after Migros, suffered a slump in sales and profits. However, Coop is now optimistic: the company has been able to gain market share. Sales growth at Group level had been expected. Profit figures will not be available until the annual media conference on February 14.
Coop reports a 2.6 percent increase in customer frequency in its supermarkets despite the "difficult market environment". The company has gained market share in the retail trade.

Migros' largest cooperative hardly made any more money than in the previous year. If this applies throughout Switzerland, Coop could overtake Migros.
The race for customers and market share between the fierce rivals Coop and Migros could end in Coop's favor this time. Nothing has been decided yet: Migros has not yet published its business figures for the past year.

Migros' louse repellent kills bees, whereas Coop's louse repellent is harmless to bees. Coop is still keeping its promise to protect bees, unlike Migros, which has withdrawn its promise.
I can only agree with you!
What's more, the fruit and vegetables at coop@home are clearly better than at Leshop (pineapple in cubes is woody, tomatoes are overdried, etc.) Sometimes I wonder who is in control here!

If you want to avoid palm oil, you are better off at Coop.
Another example: peanuts...

...Why are the ingredients at Coop more natural?
(In relation to the salad dressing comparison)

In principle, I actually find these comparisons quite constructive; not only for the sake of consumer sovereignty, but also for Migros.
So I more or less spontaneously looked at products that I know and know that both Migros and Coop offer them under their own brands.

Conclusion: same price, more or less the same recipe, only Coop still uses egg... and clearer indications of origin.
