3) It Came from the Forums by KMunoz (3 August 2009): A Community Bestiary with 160 Entries
4) GURPS Repository's Monster list (29 July 2015): 200+ creatures
5) Anon's Animal Album (July 2nd 2021): Has 400+ 4e entries.

All of which are free?
My guess would be quality - tested playability (I'm hoping there will be notes as to what level of challenge the foe is), more consistency of written "voice," better organization, etc. Essentially, a "you get what you pay for" type of scenario. It also has the benefit of being an official product (created with Doug's Nordland license for DFRPG, but official nonetheless), which matters more than you might think to a lot of groups.
