Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MAVLink Telemetry at none against Lua IDE Fresh Edition's 1. MAVLink Telemetry also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Lua IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
