# Speedster vs Ray.Radar Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Speedster at 4.2 against Ray.Radar Detector's 3.7. Speedster also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Ray.Radar Detector's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedster sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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.

Speedster holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedster has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Speedster's written reviews are positive against 38% of Ray.Radar Detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Speedster ships an update weekly, Ray.Radar Detector fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
