Husker Scope provides an all-in-one cross platform application that implements a Dual Channel (DC) Function Generator, DC AM/FM Modulator, DC Oscilloscope, DC Spectrum Analyzer, and an 8-channel Logic Analyzer. This app outputs audio range (20Hz to 20kHz) signals via the speakers / 3.5mm audio jack left & right channels and inputs signals either through the microphone audio jack (for audio input ranges) or through a custom hardware board (that can handle up to 500kHz signals). The hardware board can connect through serial on a PC or through Bluetooth on a mobile device. For more information and to view the custom hardware board, visit: https://www.huskerscope.com
Physics Labs
This app uses your device's sensors to measure various physical quantities like acceleration, magnetic fields, and sound levels. View data in coordinates or scalar magnitude, and export it to Excel for analysis. It's a digital lab for your phone.
- Measure acceleration, magnetic fields, and sound levels
- View data in X, Y, Z coordinates or scalar magnitude
- Export sensor data to Excel for analysis
- Eliminate gravity from acceleration measurements
- Measure atmospheric pressure

Physics Lab is all-in-one Sensor app which let you know physical entities around you like acceleration, magnetic fields, light intensity, sound decibel and much more... Physics Lab measures physical parameters by using your device sensors which typical device contain bunch of those sensors! Application give output in high precision with short intervals based on your sensor's capabilities. In Physics Lab, you can observe physical data in coordinates (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis) or in scalar magnitude. If you want, you can export sensor data into Excel by one click! Using export to excel feature you can obtain statistical information about your measurement. Physical quantities that can be measured Physics Lab: * Accelerometer: Measuring acceleration around your device. Output in m/s2 for x, y and z axes. Also, you can eliminate gravity from your measurements by one click and see real acceleration. * Magnetometer: Measuring magnetic field around your device. Output in µT for x, y and z axes. * Gyroscope: Measure angular inclination in x, y and z axes. Output in degree (°) * Luxmeter: COMING SOON * Barometer: Measure atmospheric pressure. Output in bar. * Noisemeter: Measure loudness around you. Output in dB. If you like our application, you can give us 5 stars.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Husker Scope at none against Physics Labs's shown. Husker Scope also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Physics Labs's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
