Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Speed at Free against Ship Cap Crew's $0.99. Speed also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Ship Cap Crew's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
