Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Symbol Collection at every 8 months against MoNo's every 25 months. Symbol Collection also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). MoNo's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
