Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Armor Stride at 5.0 against Monkey Boots's 4.3. Armor Stride also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 22 months). Monkey Boots's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (300 vs 6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
