Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedometer and Trails at none against Velocity's 1. Speedometer and Trails also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Velocity's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
