Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Auth NFC at none against Universal Speed Test's 1. Auth NFC also leads on ads (none vs shown). Universal Speed Test's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
