# What Road? vs Speedometer 5G

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.

Both are free to download. Speedometer 5G sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. What Road? asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
