# Speedometer vs VeloGuard

The clearest difference is rating: VeloGuard at 5.0 against Speedometer's 1.3. Speedometer's advantage is chart position (#119 vs unranked) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and VeloGuard sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VeloGuard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Speedometer ships an update fortnightly, VeloGuard every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
