Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Monodos at Free against Doo's $4.99. Monodos also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Doo's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
