Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Quick Gauge at none against GPS Speed's shown. Quick Gauge also leads on device support (4 vs 2). GPS Speed's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
