Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Digital Speed GPS Speedometer at freemium against Speedometer's subscription. Digital Speed GPS Speedometer also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 251) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 61%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
