Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Velodometer at 5.0 against FormBeat's 4.5. Velodometer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). FormBeat's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
