Both are monetary. Every bit written to the chain is paid for in satoshis (and energy) through the fee. There is no non-monetary transaction when blockspace itself has a price.

AFAIK both pay the fee, but one carry data, an image or whatever and the other contains only sats as a pure monetary transaction. Correct?

Correct. Both pay the same fee to occupy scarce blockspace. The only difference is what they carry: one moves money as data, the other commits data as money. Economically and thermodynamically, they’re identical.
