A speedometer you put together yourself. Set the top of the dial to match what you drive. Choose the colors that mark fast and slow. Choose what sits under the number: a live map, a g-force meter, a compass or a clock. Read it in km/h, mph or knots, in a car, on a motorcycle, on a bike or on a boat. No ads anywhere in it. No account to make. THE SPEEDOMETER Your speed fills the screen, on a dial you set up once. Choose the top of the scale to match what you actually drive, choose the colors that mark fast and slow, and switch between km/h, mph and knots whenever you like. THREE VIEWS Standard puts your speed on the dial with one panel underneath. Sport sets two panels side by side, so you can watch g-force and the 0-100 timer at once. Zen is the number and nothing else. All three work in portrait and in landscape. STYLE Four gauge styles: an arc, a full ring, segments, or a swinging needle. Three typefaces for the digits, from rounded to a seven-segment LCD, each in three weights. A single fixed color if you would rather the dial did not change. Light or dark. BUILT FOR ANY VEHICLE Car, motorcycle, bike or boat. Knots and nautical miles on the water, feet or meters for altitude, and a gauge that reads sensibly whether you top out at 30 or 300. PICK YOUR SECOND DISPLAY Choose what sits below the main gauge: - Live map - G-force meter for cornering and braking - Compass heading - Clock SPEED LIMIT ALERTS Set your own threshold. The screen edges pulse red and an optional chime sounds the moment you cross it. HEAD-UP DISPLAY Mirror mode projects your speed onto the windshield after dark, in digits you can read without taking your eyes off the road. THE NUMBERS Max speed, average speed, distance, duration, altitude, a 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) acceleration timer, and a lifetime odometer that never resets. RECORD YOUR DRIVES Speedra can start a trip on its own once you are moving, or you can turn that off in Settings and tap Start Trip yourself. Every route is saved on your phone and stays there. Nothing is uploaded, because there is no server to upload it to, and no account to attach it to. Afterwards you can play a drive back over the map at whatever pace you like, scrubbing the speed profile, reading the elevation underneath, or jumping to the fastest point of the run. SHARE THE DRIVE Turn a replay into a short video, or a clean stats card, ready for Messages and Instagram. Export the track as GPX for another app, or import a route someone sent you and replay it here. ON THE LOCK SCREEN Your speed carries on updating on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can check it without unlocking anything. PRIVACY Speedra never asks for the Always location permission, only While Using. Your location is used to draw your speed and nothing else. There is no account, no analytics on where you go, and no server behind the app at all. FREE TO USE The speedometer, all three views, all three units, head-up display mode and GPX are free forever, along with your recent drives and your first replays. Speedra Pro opens every drive you have recorded, plus the second display, speed limit alerts, the gauge styles and digit faces, your own scale and color zones, and your speed on the Lock Screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Speedometer HUD at 100% against Speedometer's 25%. GPS Speedometer HUD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (773 vs 6) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
