Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer at 5.0 against GPS Speed's 4.3. Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GPS Speed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
