Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Speed Tracker at 6.2K against GPS Data's 458. GPS Data's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speed Tracker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GPS Data sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speed Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Tracker has 6.2K ratings behind it against 458, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Speed Tracker's written reviews are positive against 76% of GPS Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speed Tracker ships an update monthly, GPS Data fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
