Lunark turns your iPhone telephoto into a moon camera that actually works on the night you need it. Point at the moon, tap once, and a few seconds later the photo on your screen is sharp enough to share. No ISO charts to learn, no tripod hunt, no spinning processing screen that loses the moment. - One tap captures and stacks five frames into a clean handheld shot - Handheld stacking holds up at high zoom, so you can leave the tripod at home - Exposure is set from tonight's phase, not from the black sky, so the moon is not a white blob - Tonight's shooting window tells you when the moon is high enough to be worth a long lens - Phase, altitude, and illumination are computed on device and work fully offline - Export full-quality files for the shots you want to keep Privacy Policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTDX9pxPOlUJl_skVUHPi99mAw0y2B2BYd_v1mJkoF3xW3rlOcW5KlYd4t93MMbbGhctSTnBTy7d_l6/pub Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Satrelle at every 3 weeks against Lunark's every 5 weeks. Satrelle also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
