Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speed at 5.0 against Speedometer's 4.6. Speed also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (9.2 vs 13.0). Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
