# Speed Limit Camera vs Bolt Speed

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bolt Speed at 83% against Speed Limit Camera's 32%. Bolt Speed also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Speed Limit Camera's advantage is ratings volume (530 vs 9) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 Bolt Speed sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speed Limit Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Limit Camera has 530 ratings behind it against 9, 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 83% of Bolt Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
