LPG Sense

Never run out of gas mid-braai again. LPG Sense pairs with a small ultrasonic sensor that magnets onto the outside of your gas cylinder and reads the level straight through the steel. Nothing is plumbed in and nothing touches the gas, and you never lift the cylinder onto a scale. Open the app and you see: PERCENTAGE AND KILOGRAMS A gauge showing how full the cylinder is right now, in percent and in kg. The colour shifts from cool when full to ember as it empties, so you can read it from across the kitchen. DAYS REMAINING The app learns how fast you actually use gas and turns that into a straight answer: roughly how many days are left. It gets more accurate the longer you use it. ALERTS BEFORE YOU RUN DRY Set a low-level alert per cylinder and get a notification while there is still time to arrange a refill. Alerts are scheduled on your phone, so they still arrive when the app is closed. MULTIPLE CYLINDERS Track the kitchen bottle, the braai bottle and the spare separately. Name them, group them by room, and see the most urgent one first. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Put the level on your home screen or lock screen and never open the app at all. USAGE HISTORY See how your consumption changes week to week, which cylinder is doing the work, and what a typical refill lasts you. HOW IT WORKS The sensor sends an ultrasonic pulse through the cylinder wall and times the echo off the liquid surface inside. It reads the level directly instead of inferring it from weight or pressure. It is an estimate, not a certified measurement, and it works on standard steel LPG cylinders. WHAT YOU NEED An LPG Sense sensor and a phone with Bluetooth. Sign in with your phone number and your cylinders sync across your devices. Learn more at lpg.africa

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LPG Sense at weekly against HYYP's every 3 months. HYYP's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
