Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speed Tracker at none against Locatometer's 1. Speed Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Locatometer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
