Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gauges at none against Accelerometer ∞'s shown. Gauges also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 72). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gauges sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Accelerometer ∞ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gauges holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gauges has 3.1K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Gauges's written reviews are positive against 60% of Accelerometer ∞'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gauges ships an update every 2 weeks, Accelerometer ∞ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
