Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Luxa at none against Broken Brush's 2. Luxa also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Broken Brush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
