# Speed Tracker vs GPS Speedometer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Speedometer at 100% against Speed Tracker's 68%. GPS Speedometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Speed Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Speedometer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPS Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. 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 point the same way: 68% of Speed Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of GPS Speedometer's.

Speed Tracker ships an update monthly, GPS Speedometer every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
