Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OverlayGPS at 60% against Ride Lens's 0%. Ride Lens's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ride Lens sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and OverlayGPS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ride Lens holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ride Lens has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Ride Lens's written reviews are positive against 60% of OverlayGPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ride Lens ships an update every 6 days, OverlayGPS fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
