Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedtest by Ookla at 62% against LTE Cell Info's 11%. Speedtest by Ookla also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.5 vs 2.0). LTE Cell Info's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
