Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sensorist at none against Sensor Labs's 1. Sensorist also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Sensor Labs's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
