DETAILED ANALYTICS Every measurement includes: - Speed vs Time chart - Acceleration vs Time chart - Distance vs Time chart - Speed vs Distance chart - Corrected and raw times - Maximum speed reached - Average acceleration - GPS accuracy metrics COMPARE RUNS Side-by-side comparison of your last two runs with overlay speed charts and a detailed metrics table showing which run was faster. HISTORY & EXPORT - All measurements saved locally with up to 200 records - Swipe to delete unwanted records - Export individual runs as CSV - Export full history as JSON backup - Share data via any app CUSTOMIZABLE - Dark and light themes - km/h or mph units - Haptic feedback toggle - Advanced tuning: deadband, snap-to-zero, EMA filter alphas, correction bias offset PRIVACY FIRST Speed Timer works entirely offline.

For best results, use in open areas with clear sky visibility. Speed Timer is intended for use on private roads and closed courses only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speed Timer at none against Car Timer's 3. Speed Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
