Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedmeter + at none against Bolt Speed's 4. Speedmeter + also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 9) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Bolt Speed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 55%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bolt Speed sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Speedmeter + asks for nothing beyond the download.
Speedmeter + holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedmeter + has 4.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Speedmeter +'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Bolt Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Speedmeter + ships an update every 6 months, Bolt Speed every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
