I think Verge will only be a serious competitor to Monero in the case that the devs add ring signatures, but I don't think it will even be in the same order of magnitude price range as Monero due to coin supply differences as McWorse mentioned. If it was adopted by certain markets as form of payment in the way that Monero has, however, it can probably expect to see a serious price increase. Native support for tor/i2p is a huge benefit in terms of user-friendliness.
