# Speedometer GPS vs Digital Speedometer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digital Speedometer at 100% against Speedometer GPS's 33%. Digital Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Speedometer GPS's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 18) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer GPS sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Digital Speedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
