# SpeedWakeup vs Speed Limit Camera

Speed Limit Camera also leads on ratings volume (530 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). SpeedWakeup's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (40% vs 32%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speed Limit Camera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. SpeedWakeup asks for nothing beyond the download.

Speed Limit Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Limit Camera has 530 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of SpeedWakeup's written reviews are positive against 32% of Speed Limit Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SpeedWakeup ships an update every 8 months, Speed Limit Camera every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
