# Speed Tracker vs SpeedMeter NiKa

The clearest difference is rating: Speed Tracker at 4.6 against SpeedMeter NiKa's 3.7. Speed Tracker also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 3). SpeedMeter NiKa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Speed Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Tracker has 6.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Speed Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of SpeedMeter NiKa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Speed Tracker ships an update monthly, SpeedMeter NiKa every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
