Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Neo Monsters at 4.7 against XP Pocket's 2.3. Neo Monsters also leads on ratings volume (7.8K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). XP Pocket's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
