Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MONO at daily against 元元记账's every 3 weeks. MONO also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 58%). 元元记账's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. MONO sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 元元记账 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

元元记账 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of MONO's written reviews are positive against 58% of 元元记账's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MONO ships an update daily, 元元记账 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
