Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sketch Lua at none against Sedona's 1. Sketch Lua also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sedona sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sketch Lua asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sedona holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 36 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Sketch Lua's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sedona's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
