Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Crux at 100% against Speedcafe.com's 50%. The Crux also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Speedcafe.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
