Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Monarch holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xcelerate Restoration Software has 46 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Monarch's written reviews are positive against 42% of Xcelerate Restoration Software's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Monarch ships an update every 3 months, Xcelerate Restoration Software every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
