Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Speedometer at Free against Speedometer‰'s $1.99. Speedometer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months). Speedometer‰'s advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases 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, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer has 1.8K 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 69% 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 October 11, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
