Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer at 5.0 against HUD's 2.5. Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). HUD's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 29 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
