Monotonicity of the following functions \[ F_q = \frac{\log\, \Gamma_q(x +1) - 1/2 x (x - 1) H(q - 1) \log\, q}{x \log\, [x]_q - x (x - 1) H(q - 1) \log\, q}, \] \[ G_q = \frac{\log\, \Gamma_q(x/2 + 1) - 1/8 x (x - 2) H(q - 1) \log\, q}{x \log\, [x]_q - x (x - 1) H(q - 1) \log\, q}, \] are proved. Here, \([x]_q = (1 - q^x)/(1 - q)\), \(H(\cdot)\) is the Heaviside step function and \(\Gamma_q(x)\) is the \(q\)-gamma function \[ \Gamma_q(x) = (q - 1)^{1 - x} \prod\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1 - q^{n + 1}}{1 - q^{n + x}},\; 0 < q <1, \] and \[ \Gamma_q(x) = (q - 1)^{1 - x} q^{1/2 x(x - 1)} \prod\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1 - q^{-(n + 1)}}{1 - q^{-(n + x)}},\; q > 1. \] It leads, in particular, to a new inequality for the \(q\)-gamma function.
