Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BRASS MONKEY at 3.0 against myGov's 2.3. BRASS MONKEY also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 6%). myGov's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
