Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Riptide GP2 at 4.8 against Speed Boat's 4.0. Riptide GP2 also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 2) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). Speed Boat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Riptide GP2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Speed Boat asks for nothing beyond the download.
Riptide GP2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riptide GP2 has 7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Riptide GP2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Speed Boat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
