Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SpeedTest at 4.6 against FAST Speed Test's 3.9. SpeedTest also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 46%) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 242). FAST Speed Test's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
