# GPS Speedometer vs Speedometer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: GPS Speedometer at 5.5K against Speedometer's 58. GPS Speedometer also leads on chart position (#64 vs #198). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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 Speedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 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 4.5 for Speedometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 5.5K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 24% and 25% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
