Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Gingham at $9.99 against LumaFusion's $29.99. Gingham also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.2 vs 26.0). LumaFusion's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 57 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
