Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Piufoto at 89% against Monitor+'s 45%. Piufoto also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Monitor+'s advantage is ratings volume (279 vs 23) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
