Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Speedometer ٞ at none against See through Map's shown. Speedometer ٞ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.8.3). See through Map's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
