Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Speedometer at none against Locatometer's shown. Speedometer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Locatometer's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
