Over the past decade the Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor has changed the world of sport fishing by offering the most technologically advanced boat control system ever invented. The C-Monster application is designed exclusively for controlling the operations of Power-Pole devices using Bluetooth LE connection. You must own Power-Pole devices to use this application. Currently, the iOS app is only compatible with Power-Pole hydraulic models built late January 2015 or after. This can be confirmed if the serial number ends in “AC” for the 8’ Blade or “AA” for any other hydraulic model. An add-on iOS module will soon be available to allow existing C-Monster equipped Power-Pole models not matching the criteria listed to utilize this app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Texas Legends Billfish at 5.0 against CMonster's 2.1. CMonster's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (101 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
