Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Luna Display at none against MATRIC's 5. Luna Display also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). MATRIC's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
