Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DupeCatcher at 100% against LUMINESS's 43%. DupeCatcher also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). LUMINESS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
