Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ILS at 100% against Monster Smart App's 25%. ILS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Monster Smart App's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 41 months) and ratings volume (26K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
