Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Maytag at free against Sensi's free with in-app purchases. Sensi's advantage is ratings volume (246K vs 46K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Sensi against 4.7 for Maytag. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sensi has 246K ratings behind it against 46K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Sensi's written reviews are positive against 30% of Maytag's.
Sensi ships an update monthly, Maytag every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
