Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Luxe Du Jour at 100% against Sotheby's's 24%. Luxe Du Jour also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). Sotheby's's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Luxe Du Jour holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sotheby's has 96 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Sotheby's's written reviews are positive against 100% of Luxe Du Jour's.
