Used by golfers worldwide, gaining speed and distance has never been so easy. “Immediate results. My buddies have all commented I am hitting it farther on the course. I was skeptical at first but after a couple of weeks / training only a couple of times per week I could feel a noticeable difference in my swing speed. It works. I gained 8mph in just 4 weeks. The instructional video is easy to follow too.” – Evans, 40 year old avid golfer “Honestly I’m impressed. The way you can feel your own shaft load and unload and keeping things consistent I think is huge! You guys hit the nail on the head - The Speed Toad is freaking legit.” – Hunter, Professional Long Driver “Holy. Speed. I didn’t realize how effective the Speed Toad really is. It totally makes sense to train with actual equipment that you use day in and day out on the course. No such gimmick here. Pure speed and great feedback. I picked up 5 mph of club speed within 5 weeks and ball speed is back to what my college days were.” – Travis, Professional Golfer

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Speed Toad at Free against CycleComputer Pro's $9.99. Speed Toad also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). CycleComputer Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (194 vs 4). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CycleComputer Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CycleComputer Pro has 194 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of CycleComputer Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Speed Toad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CycleComputer Pro ships an update fortnightly, Speed Toad every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
