Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Real Satellite Speed at none against ssspeed!'s 1. Real Satellite Speed also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). ssspeed!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
