Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LUMÏN at every 2 weeks against Micromega's every 2 months. LUMÏN also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (57 vs 4). Micromega's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
