Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 1Commit at Free against Monument Valley's $3.99. 1Commit also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Monument Valley's advantage is chart position (#6 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
