Verdict
The clearest difference is price: censor photo at Free against MoNo's $0.99. censor photo also leads on update cadence (every 11 months vs every 25 months). MoNo's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
