Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ping at 100% against Speed Test's 65%. Ping also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Speed Test's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 99) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
