Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedometer ⁺ at none against GPS Speedometer and Altimeter's 2. Speedometer ⁺ also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 370) and device support (4 vs 2). GPS Speedometer and Altimeter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
