Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Razer PS Controller at 4.7 against SensePad's 4.2. Razer PS Controller also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 55). SensePad's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (30% vs 12%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SensePad sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Razer PS Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.
Razer PS Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Razer PS Controller has 1.3K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Razer PS Controller's written reviews are positive against 30% of SensePad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Razer PS Controller ships an update every 4 months, SensePad every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
