Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: xDelete at 73% against SKF Speed V2's 33%. xDelete also leads on ratings volume (496 vs 1). SKF Speed V2's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SKF Speed V2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xDelete has 496 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of xDelete's written reviews are positive against 33% of SKF Speed V2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
