Press finds what's filling your storage (big videos, old screenshots, near-duplicate photos) and makes room without losing what matters. Make a smaller copy of a video or photo right on your device, see it next to the original, and save it to your library. The original goes only when you say so, and it waits in Recently Deleted for about 30 days. - Biggest videos first, with their real sizes - Swipe through: keep, compress or remove, with undo - Similar photos: near-duplicates grouped, with a suggested keeper - Live Photos: keep the still, drop the movie - Old screenshots by month No account. No uploads. No analytics. Everything happens on your device. Free: look, swipe, remove, and 10 smaller copies a day. The full version is one payment: unlimited copies, similar photos and Live Photo stills. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Monitor+ at 4 against Press's 1. Monitor+ also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
