Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Monologue at none against Entry Memo's shown. Monologue also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Entry Memo's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
