Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Timebend at none against Task Monster's shown. Timebend also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Task Monster's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Timebend holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Task Monster has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
