Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Checkonic at none against monolist's 1. Checkonic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.2). monolist's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
