Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Time Journal at none against GPS Speedometer's shown. Time Journal also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GPS Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 79 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
