Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Speed Tracker at free with in-app purchases against Speedometer's subscription. Speed Tracker also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 251) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
