Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RealtimeSpeedmeter at none against Speedometer's 1. RealtimeSpeedmeter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 43 months). Speedometer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price there is nothing between them.
