Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Auto Lube Specs at 4.1 against Auto Monkey's 3.4. Auto Lube Specs also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Auto Monkey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
