Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite at 4.7 against Accelerometer Visual's 3.3. Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 45%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 22 months). Accelerometer Visual's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
