# GPS Speedometer vs Speedometer

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Speedometer at none against Speedometer's shown. GPS Speedometer also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 784) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (weekly 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 Speedometer sells 9 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 Speedometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 5.6K ratings behind it against 784, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 24% and 25% positive.

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 2 months, Speedometer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
