The ST BLE Sensor application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics
BLE360
Easily scan and configure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and beacons. Filter results by signal strength and read various beacon characteristics. Reprogram parameters on supported beacon types for seamless management.
- Scan BLE devices and beacons
- Filter results by RSSI range
- Read beacon characteristics (name, password, calibration, etc.)
- Configure and reprogram supported beacons
- Support for RDL beacons by Radioland

The BLE360 app is a FREE app that allows you to scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and beacons. The scanner can be configured to show either all Bluetooth devices or only the devices that are recognized as beacons, and filter results by rssi range. For beacons, the BLE360 App allows you to read a number of characteristics such as beacon name, password, rssi calibration, frequency, power, major, minor, and region. It also allows users to configure and reprogram those parameters on certain types of beacons (we currently support RDL beacons by Radioland). BLE360 is a simple yet powerful App to configure beacons easily.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ST BLE Sensor at 2.0 against BLE360's 1.0. ST BLE Sensor also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1). BLE360's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ST BLE Sensor holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ST BLE Sensor has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
