Verdict

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monologue at 95% against Think App's 25%. Monologue also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (66 vs 2). Think App's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
