Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monetal at 88% against Receipt Scanner's 41%. Monetal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (122 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
