Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lumenic at none against M3UHub's 1. Lumenic also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). M3UHub's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 10 days) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
