Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Open Road at Free against Speed's $3.99. Open Road also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). Speed's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
