Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MONO at every 2 days against Flow记账's monthly. MONO also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Flow记账's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
