Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sensi at 4.6 against Beacon Light App's 4.1. Sensi also leads on ratings volume (246K vs 7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Beacon Light App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
