Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Compass 54 Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer ⊲ has 4.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Compass 54 Lite'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.
Compass 54 Lite ships an update every 2 months, Speedometer ⊲ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
