Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AvTraffic at 4.8 against Speedometer's 1.0. AvTraffic also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 75%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Speedometer's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AvTraffic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AvTraffic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AvTraffic has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 91% of AvTraffic's.
Speedometer ships an update every 2 months, AvTraffic every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
