Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiniLuxe at 3.2 against Continuum Allston's 1.0. MiniLuxe also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (62 vs 1). Continuum Allston's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
