Verdict
Which one should you pick?
Choose iSpeed when you want community lap data on iRacing — it has a verified free tier.

Choose Lovely Dashboard when you want polished SimHub dash designs — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Not standalone software — the site marks the Lovely Plugin as 'Required' and it all runs on top of SimHub, and the store page does not document which sims are supported
No universal winner — both entries are human-verified (dates in the Verification row below); weigh the limitations against your own setup.
