Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Monk at 4.6 against Undertone Beauty's 1.0. Monk also leads on ratings volume (144 vs 1). Undertone Beauty's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monk sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Undertone Beauty sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Monk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monk has 144 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
