Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Luminair at Free against T6FV Lighting Diagram's $9.99. Luminair also leads on device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0.0). T6FV Lighting Diagram's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On ads there is nothing between them.
