Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sensor settings at 5.0 against Decibel Reader's 4.5. Sensor settings also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). Decibel Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Decibel Reader sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Sensor settings asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sensor settings holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Decibel Reader has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Sensor settings's written reviews are positive against 80% of Decibel Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sensor settings ships an update every 29 months, Decibel Reader every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
