# Speed Limit Camera vs SpeedMeter NiKa

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SpeedMeter NiKa at 100% against Speed Limit Camera's 32%. SpeedMeter NiKa also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Speed Limit Camera's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 18 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speed Limit Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SpeedMeter NiKa sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speed Limit Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Limit Camera has 530 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Speed Limit Camera's written reviews are positive against 100% of SpeedMeter NiKa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Speed Limit Camera ships an update every 3 months, SpeedMeter NiKa every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
