Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Neo Monsters at 4.7 against Micromon's 3.7. Neo Monsters also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 41%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). Micromon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
