Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Speedometer at free with in-app purchases against Simple Speedometer +'s subscription. Speedometer also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Simple Speedometer +'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
