Are these two natural $A_\infty$-structures on the realization of a cosimplicial commutative algebra isomorphic?

Given a cosimplicial commutative algebra $A^\bullet$ over a field of characteristic zero, there are two ways of producing an $A_\infty$-structure on its realization $|A^\bullet| := \int^\Delta C^*(\...
