Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sensor Toolkit at Free against Seismometer's $1.99. Sensor Toolkit also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). Seismometer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
