Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lutron App at every 8 days against LC Installer's every 4 months. Lutron App also leads on ratings volume (6.8K vs 2). LC Installer's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
