Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Knotmeter at every 5 months against Speedometer Focus's every 38 months. Knotmeter also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (11.1 vs 15.5). Speedometer Focus's advantage is chart position (#171 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
