# SidePilot vs Speed

The clearest difference is price: Speed at Free against SidePilot's $13.99. Speed also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). SidePilot's advantage is ratings volume (98 vs 1) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Speed is free to download; SidePilot costs $13.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Speed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SidePilot has 98 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
