Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gift Sense at 5.0 against Gift Hero's 1.8. Gift Sense also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Gift Hero's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
