Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedometer ⊲ at none against RideSpeed's 2. Speedometer ⊲ also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 1). RideSpeed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
