Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pin Points Distance Calculator at 356 against Speedometer Lite's 18. Pin Points Distance Calculator also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Speedometer Lite's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (80% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
