Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solo Level at 100% against Monarch's 29%. Solo Level also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Monarch's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
