# Speed Limit Camera vs Ray.Radar Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Speed Limit Camera at 4.6 against Ray.Radar Detector's 3.7. Speed Limit Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (530 vs 3). Ray.Radar Detector's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, 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 Ray.Radar Detector sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 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 split almost evenly too, at 32% and 33% positive.

Speed Limit Camera ships an update every 3 months, Ray.Radar Detector fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
