Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SortGlass at Free against LumaFusion's $29.99. SortGlass also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). LumaFusion's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 3) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
