Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sensor settings at 5.0 against Device Detector's 4.4. Sensor settings also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 49%). Device Detector's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
