Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedometer at 69% against Head's 10%. Speedometer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). Head's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
