# Speedmeter + vs Speedometer 5G

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedmeter + at none against Speedometer 5G's 5. Speedmeter + also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 502). Speedometer 5G's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer 5G sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 502, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Speedmeter +'s written reviews are positive against 59% of Speedometer 5G'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, Speedometer 5G fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
