GPS Data delivers all of the current location information available from your device, including GPS, compass, and barometer data. GPS Data displays the following information, in an easy-to-use list format: • Current time • Time since last update • Accuracy of readings • Latitude & Longitude coordinates (decimal degrees and degrees/minutes/seconds) • Elevation (meters and feet above sea level) • Speed (meters and feet per second, kilometers and miles per hour, and knots) • Device direction (degrees true and degrees magnetic) • Direction of device movement (degrees true) • Local air pressure (hectopascals and inches of mercury) • Vertical speed (meters per second and feet per minute) Additionally, on iOS, any altitude, speed, or direction value can be expanded into a larger, full screen display, useful for monitoring different values when you're on the move.

Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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.
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.
Speed Tracker ships an update monthly, GPS Data fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
