Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LUMINESS at none against Madluvv's shown. LUMINESS also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 77) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Madluvv's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
