Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monocular Enemy 2 at none against HotdogUp's 1. Monocular Enemy 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (163 vs 5). HotdogUp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HotdogUp sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Monocular Enemy 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Monocular Enemy 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monocular Enemy 2 has 163 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HotdogUp's written reviews are positive against 73% of Monocular Enemy 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HotdogUp ships an update every 5 days, Monocular Enemy 2 every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
