Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Speedometer at none against Speedometer's 5. Pocket Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Speedometer's advantage is chart position (#108 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
