Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker at 4.1 against Speedometer GPS+'s 3.5. Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 2). Speedometer GPS+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Speedometer GPS+'s written reviews are positive against 43% of Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speedometer GPS+ ships an update every 6 months, Speedometer GPS Speed Tracker monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
