Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LumiDrift at none against Atomus's shown. LumiDrift also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Atomus's advantage is ratings volume (525 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
