Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite at 4.7 against Pro's 1.8. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 4). Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
