# Simple Speed Gun vs Pitch Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Pitch Counter at 5.0 against Simple Speed Gun's 2.7. Pitch Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown). Simple Speed Gun's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Speed Gun sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pitch Counter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
