This small and simple app will use the phones sensors to measure an current (absolute) altitude. You can also set a baseline and measure from there (relative measurement). The app is perfect for measuring height of for example an elevator. Notes: * The absolute height can be affected by weather. * The relative sensor might drift over time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alturos at none against Sensor Toolkit's 4. Alturos also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sensor Toolkit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
