It depends on the category. Some varieties of apes are less than 50 pounds and some are gigantic like the gorillas which weigh around 500 pounds.
From what I've read, two of the main differances are that monkeys are generally considered intelligent, and unlike apes, they usually have tails. (according to wikipedia)- Monkeys have tails and apes do not.- Monkeys have slanted nasal openings.- Apes have rounded nasal openings.- Apes generally have bigger brains and larger bodies than monkeys.- Monkeys have web foot and apes do not have.- Monkeys are smaller in terms of size and apes are biggerThe distinction has more to do with taxonomy than macroscopic differences, which applies as general guides more than rules (they have been separated on these standards though, at the very beginning):- Apes are : Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans and Gibbons.- Monkeys are all primates non-apes and non-prosimians (lemurs)Apes don't have tails and monkeys do. Also apes are much bigger and stronger

Monkeys typically have tails, while apes do not. Apes are generally larger and have a more robust build compared to monkeys. Apes also tend to have larger brains and more complex social behavior than monkeys.
monkeys have smaller brain than apes.
Humans share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. Apes and monkeys are more like our cousins than our grandparents. Thus present day monkeys can not be our ancestors, humans can not be evolved from monkeys.
hominds stood upright and had a larger brain capacity than the apes and monkeys
Monkeys have tails, while apes (including gorillas) do not. Apes are generally larger in size than monkeys and have more complex social structures. Additionally, apes have larger brains relative to their body size compared to monkeys.
