Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QuickSpeed at 100% against Speedometer's 69%. QuickSpeed also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 3) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
