Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EE ToolKit at 4.7 against Robotics U's 3.6. EE ToolKit also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 16) and review sentiment (90% vs 67%). Robotics U's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
