Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Luwian at Free against LED Paint 2's $0.99. Luwian also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 40 months). LED Paint 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (75% vs 46%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Luwian is free to download; LED Paint 2 costs $0.99 up front. Luwian sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. LED Paint 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Luwian holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luwian has 355 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of LED Paint 2's written reviews are positive against 46% of Luwian's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LED Paint 2 ships an update every 40 months, Luwian every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
