# DriveTracker vs Speedometer

The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer at 4.8 against DriveTracker's 3.9. Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (94% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DriveTracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Speedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer has 216 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of DriveTracker's written reviews are positive against 94% of Speedometer's.

DriveTracker ships an update every 10 days, Speedometer every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
