The short version

Each has a real cost: AppsFlyer pricing is per attributed conversion on an annual commitment, so a successful quarter raises the measurement bill in step with media spend and overage rates above the commitment are usually punitive.; Sencha it is the only commercially licensed framework in this category; a per-developer fee applies where Ionic, Capacitor, NativeScript, MAUI and Kotlin Multiplatform all cost nothing.
They diverge on capability: AppsFlyer covers Multi touch install attribution, Sencha covers Enterprise grid components.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AppsFlyer

Pricing is per attributed conversion on an annual commitment, so a successful quarter raises the measurement bill in step with media spend and overage rates above the commitment are usually punitive.
iOS attribution lost genuine capability when App Tracking Transparency arrived, and a good deal of what the interface now shows is modelled rather than observed, which the reports do not always make obvious.
The headline price covers attribution only; deep linking, fraud protection, audiences and raw data export are separate modules, so the quoted figure and the invoice differ substantially.
Self attributing networks such as Meta and Google report their own numbers, and reconciling those against AppsFlyer is ongoing work that no vendor eliminates.
Historic attribution data does not transfer between measurement partners, so switching vendors resets year on year comparisons and effectively locks in the incumbent after a couple of years.

Sencha

It is the only commercially licensed framework in this category; a per-developer fee applies where Ionic, Capacitor, NativeScript, MAUI and Kotlin Multiplatform all cost nothing.
Its mobile story is secondary to its web-grid heritage, so teams primarily building consumer mobile apps get less mobile-specific benefit than from a purpose-built mobile framework.
Idera has acquired numerous developer tool brands, and product investment across a large portfolio company is not guaranteed to prioritise any single acquired product indefinitely.
The developer hiring pool for Ext JS specifically has shrunk as React and Angular dominate new development, making it harder to staff new projects.
Community plugins, tutorials and Stack Overflow activity are far thinner than for any free, widely adopted framework in this category, so troubleshooting relies more on paid support than public resources.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AppsFlyer: How is it priced?

Per attributed conversion against an annual commitment, plus separate fees for the additional modules. Negotiate the commitment carefully.

Sencha: Is any part of Sencha free?

A 30-day evaluation trial is available; production use requires a purchased per-developer licence.

AppsFlyer: Did App Tracking Transparency break attribution?

It removed deterministic device level attribution for users who decline tracking. What remains on iOS is aggregated and delayed, and vendors fill the gap with modelling.

Sencha: Who owns Sencha?

Idera, Inc., a private software holding company that also owns Xray and Xporter, two other Atlassian ecosystem products.

AppsFlyer: Can we take our data if we leave?

You can export raw data while under contract. Attribution history itself does not migrate to another vendor.

Sencha: Is Sencha mainly a mobile framework?

No. Its core strength is data-heavy enterprise web UI, particularly grids; mobile packaging is a secondary capability.
