Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kalida at none against Task Monster's 2. Kalida also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Task Monster's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
