Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Speedometer at 100% against CarCam's 24%. GPS Speedometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CarCam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 59 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
