# Speedmeter + vs GPS Speedometer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedmeter + at none against GPS Speedometer's 10. Speedmeter + also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 48) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). GPS Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Speedmeter + asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Speedmeter + against 4.4 for GPS Speedometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedmeter + has 4.7K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Speedmeter + ships an update every 6 months, GPS Speedometer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
