Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Knil at Free against MonoProxy's $4.99. Knil also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). MonoProxy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
