Gboard turns your iPhone or iPad into a compact car dashboard. • Live dashboard — G-force (acceleration), max G, speed, altitude, pitch, roll and yaw • Full-screen gauges — five layouts: Dual Dials, HUD Bars, Minimal, Attitude and 3D Attitude Ball, with screen mirroring and orientation lock • HUD reflection mode — mirror the display horizontally, vertically or both and boost brightness automatically, so the reflection on your windshield reads correctly • Live charts — six scrolling graphs for GPS and motion-sensor data, with pinch to zoom and drag to pan • Recording and playback — record a drive, save it on your device and replay every curve from the history list • CarPlay — see speed, altitude, G-force and attitude on your car's screen, and control recording from there • Live Activity — follow G-force, speed and more on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on the CarPlay Dashboard while recording • Metric or imperial units, plus in-app language switching No instrument cluster? Mount the phone at the windshield and use the full-screen gauges or HUD reflection mode as a head-up display — ideal for cars such as the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, which have no display in front of the driver. Data at a glance: • Acceleration — the device's current acceleration in G (9.80665 m/s²) • Speed and altitude — measured in real time with GPS • Pitch, roll and yaw — relative to the moment you tap Start For accurate readings, mount the phone in the car before starting. Gboard is a driving aid for reference only and does not replace your vehicle's instruments.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FIRST SCENE at every 3 weeks against Gboard's every 2 months. FIRST SCENE also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
