Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Speedometer ⋙ at Free against Speedometer‰'s $1.99. Speedometer ⋙ also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 18) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 20 months). Speedometer‰'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 56%). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer ⋙ has 15K 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 56% 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 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
