Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer GPS at 4.6 against GCTools's 3.1. Speedometer GPS also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 13) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). GCTools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GCTools sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Speedometer GPS sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer GPS holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer GPS has 9K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of GCTools's written reviews are positive against 33% of Speedometer GPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GCTools ships an update monthly, Speedometer GPS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
