The Speedbrix adaptable display gives the the flexibility to define what works for you. Each layout can be named and saved as a profile to make life easy, and you get multiple profiles. Heel and Trim readouts can be reset to zero when the device is secured and the boat level. It just keeps it simple and it’s a one tap task. When the Start Watch is selected, you get choose your Pre-Start and Post-Start screen layouts, the App will then automatically switch between them when the timer hits zero. Simple to use with a clear readout and highly accurate, Speedbrix App is deigned to make access to technology like this possible for everyone, so me made it free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedbrix at none against Trace Zone's 2. Speedbrix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Trace Zone's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
