Supported sensors: - IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope) β sensor_msgs/Imu - GPS location β sensor_msgs/NavSatFix - Camera β sensor_msgs/CompressedImage - Barometer β sensor_msgs/FluidPressure - LiDAR point clouds β sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 (Pro devices) - ARKit 6DOF pose tracking β geometry_msgs/PoseStamped Perfect for robotics researchers, hobbyists, and developers who want to leverage the high-quality sensors in their Apple devices for ROS2 projects. Use your phone as an IMU, a mobile camera, a GPS source, or even a LiDAR scanner for your robot. Requires a local network with ROS2 nodes to communicate with.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ROS at none against BuildMyApps's 4. BuildMyApps's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
