Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: What Road? at 100% against Speedometer 5G's 59%. What Road? also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). Speedometer 5G's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (502 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer 5G holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer 5G has 502 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of What Road?'s written reviews are positive against 59% of Speedometer 5G's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

What Road? ships an update every 4 months, Speedometer 5G fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
