Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer at 4.7 against GPS Speedometer's 3.8. Speedometer also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 5). GPS Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (14 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
