Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lustra at 4.6 against PaperWall's 4.0. Lustra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PaperWall's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
