# GPS Speedometer vs Pacer

The clearest difference is rating: Pacer at 5.0 against GPS Speedometer's 4.0. Pacer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). GPS Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pacer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pacer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 4.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 2 months, Pacer every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
