Speedometer ⊲ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Max Speed's written reviews are positive against 62% of Speedometer ⊲'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Max Speed ships an update every 5 months, Speedometer ⊲ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
