Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Luna Display at 4.8 against EasyCanvas's 3.5. Luna Display also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (76% vs 55%). EasyCanvas's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
