Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.
