Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gauges at 4.6 against Accelerometer Visual's 3.3. Gauges also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 3). Accelerometer Visual's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
