Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedometer at 100% against Speedometer'''s 51%. Speedometer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (109 vs 20). Speedometer'''s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
