Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CycleMeter at none against Digital Speed GPS Speedometer's 10. CycleMeter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Digital Speed GPS Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
