# Speedometer × vs GPS Speedometer

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Speedometer at none against Speedometer ×'s shown. GPS Speedometer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). Speedometer ×'s advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 24%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer × sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and GPS Speedometer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Speedometer × against 4.5 for GPS Speedometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 5.5K ratings behind it against 818, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Speedometer ×'s written reviews are positive against 24% of GPS Speedometer's.

Speedometer × ships an update every 5 months, GPS Speedometer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
