We showcase the utilization of non-KAM systems in the quantum regime as quantum sensors, leveraging their sensitivity at \textit{resonances}. Quantum Fisher information (QFI) is a central quantity in quantum parameter estimation theory that measures how much information a quantum state contains about an unknown parameter that is encoded into it. In other words, it quantifies the sensitivity of a quantum state to small changes in that parameter. In this work, through numerical analysis in conjunction with analytical results, we study the performance of the non-KAM systems for quantum sensing applications by computing the QFI. We find that the growth of the QFI is remarkably enhanced when the resonance condition is satisfied. For frequency estimation under Floquet unitary encodings, we derive a transport bound: if the mean excitation number grows as $\langle\hat n(t)\rangle\sim t^{\alpha}$, the QFI obeys $I(t)\lesssim t^{2\alpha+2}$. The quantum kicked harmonic oscillator, a paradigmatic non-KAM system, realizes the full hierarchy: localized dynamics ($\alpha=0$) yield quadratic growth, delocalized diffusion along stochastic webs ($\alpha=1$) yields quartic growth, and translationally invariant resonances ($\alpha=2$) saturate the bound with anomalous hexic growth, $I(t)\sim t^{6}$, established analytically at resonance $R=2$ and numerically at $R=4$. The enhancement stems from resonance-induced translational symmetry rather than exponential instability, identifying non-KAM resonances as a metrological resource distinct from chaos-assisted and criticality-based sensing.
