Anyone who thinks that COP and any form of creatine are the same is patently stupid.
They have very different MOAs (COP's isn't well understood at the moment and oral bioavailability for this ingredient has come into question from time to time, IIRC) and serve entirely different purposes.
When repping for SNS, I used their COP product at ~2g preworkout, on workout days only, and noticed nice cumulative benefits with regard to endurance and slight strength increases (in general and in later sets) from an anecdotal perspective. If you can find it for a nice price, it's worth experimenting with because of its prevalence in various formulas these days.
Purchase an inexpensive creatine monohydrate like iForce Creaplex and take 3-5g per day, no loading, cycling, or glucose spikes necessary. Keep it simple and figure out what works for you.
