When Monica is the better choice
You're technical, want full control over your own server, and would rather pay with time than money. You don't need voice input and prefer typing your notes yourself.
When MyBrivio is the better choice
You want to start in two minutes without running a server. Talking after a conversation matters more to you than typing — and you don't want anyone to have to maintain infrastructure.
