Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MultiSens at none against Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's 1. MultiSens also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MultiSens asks for nothing beyond the download.
MultiSens holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite ships an update weekly, MultiSens monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
