# GPS Speedometer vs GPS Speedometer HUD

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Speedometer at none against GPS Speedometer HUD's shown. GPS Speedometer also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 638) and chart position (#65 vs #198). GPS Speedometer HUD's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and GPS Speedometer HUD sells 8 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 — 4.5 for GPS Speedometer against 4.6 for GPS Speedometer HUD. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 5.6K ratings behind it against 638, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of GPS Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 23% of GPS Speedometer HUD's.
