Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chamonix at 4.8 against Hole Scroll's 4.2. Chamonix also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (523 vs 15). Hole Scroll's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
