Sensor toolbox makes the most of all the sensors in your smartphone. With a user-friendly interface and easy to read layout, Sensor Multitool - Toolbox allows you to collect data in real time for any and all sensors on your phone. Convert the data into easy to read graphs with a detailed readout from each sensor. This app contains everything you need: an accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS Data, barometer, decibel meter, metal detector, compass, and much more. This app follows all material design guidelines, meaning the app is clean and simple to use This app uses intuitive graphs to create clean, orderly graphs of all data collected.
Acc.elerometer

See how your device moves with Acc.elerometer. View live sensor readings, record an experiment and examine the results on your iPhone or iPad. Capture motion on Apple Watch and send recordings to your paired iPhone for charts and CSV export. EXPLORE SIX MEASUREMENTS - Acceleration, including gravity, in G - User acceleration, with gravity removed, in G - Rotation rate around three axes in rad/s - Magnetic field in microteslas - Device attitude: roll, pitch and yaw in radians - Gravity along each axis in G View individual axes and vector magnitude where supported. Follow changing values and review recorded measurements to explore movement, rotation and orientation. RECORD AND REVIEW Choose the measurements you want to capture, then start and stop a recording. On iPhone and iPad, set the measurement interval from 0.1 to 1 second. Open saved recordings to inspect charts, switch between individual axes and vector magnitude for supported measurements, and identify gaps in the data. EXPORT YOUR DATA Export each measurement from a recording as a CSV file with timestamps and axis values. Choose Unix time, spreadsheet serial dates or formatted date strings for your analysis workflow. CAPTURE MOTION ON APPLE WATCH View sensor readings and record selected measurements on your wrist. Send saved recordings to the paired iPhone and follow transfer progress. Add watch face complications to see saved sensor maxima or recording status, and open the app to start a recording from the recording widget. FOR EXPERIMENTS AND EVERYDAY CURIOSITY Explore device motion for a physics demonstration, a development project or your own experiments. Measurements and recordings are stored on your devices. No account is required. Available readings and actual sampling intervals depend on the device and its sensors. Apple Watch recording duration is subject to watchOS background runtime limits. Watch complications show saved values from the app, rather than a continuous live sensor feed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Acc.elerometer at 100% against Sensors Toolbox's 53%. Acc.elerometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). Sensors Toolbox's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
