Signal Conditioning
Read full descriptionHide full description
Measuring voltages and currents using ADCs usually requires properly conditioning the signals to match the ADC's characteristics: mainly scaling and shifting. Usually circuits based on Operation Amplifiers are used for this purpouse with differente approaches for voltages and currents. Signal Conditioning application picks the suitable circuit basing on input and output signals' characteristics and makes all the required calculations providing a conditioning circuit in a matter of minutes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CircuitShepherd at Free against Signal Conditioning's $3.99. CircuitShepherd also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.1). Signal Conditioning's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
