Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SpeedTest at Free against Pulse5G's $0.99. SpeedTest also leads on device support (5 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 26.0). Pulse5G's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
