Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedometer at none against Speedometer Classic's 1. Speedometer also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months). Speedometer Classic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
