Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speedy Pro at 4.9 against Speedometer's 4.6. Speedy Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
