# Digital Speed GPS Speedometer vs Speed Camera Radar Detector

The clearest difference is ads: Speed Camera Radar Detector at none against Digital Speed GPS Speedometer's shown. Digital Speed GPS Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 63) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Speed GPS Speedometer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Speed Camera Radar Detector sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
