Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LumiFrame at 80% against PSE's 14%. LumiFrame also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). PSE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ratings volume (21 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
