Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedometer ⁺ at 60% against Head's 20%. Speedometer ⁺ also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 127 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Head's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
