Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Monolith Mobile at none against DVR Tool's shown. Monolith Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). DVR Tool's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
