Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monument BW at none against 5 Steps's 2. Monument BW also leads on ads (none vs shown). 5 Steps's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
