Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LUMEN at 3.0 against RF Connect's 2.0. LUMEN also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). RF Connect's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LUMEN holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RF Connect has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of LUMEN's written reviews are positive against 5% of RF Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
