Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Speedometer ٞ at Free against Speedometer‰'s $1.99. Speedometer ٞ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (778 vs 18). Speedometer‰'s advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Speedometer ٞ is free to download; Speedometer‰ costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Speedometer ٞ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer ٞ has 778 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Speedometer‰'s written reviews are positive against 52% of Speedometer ٞ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Speedometer‰ ships an update every 20 months, Speedometer ٞ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
