Every year, thousands of drivers get fined by a camera they never saw. A hidden mobile radar. A section camera your sat-nav didn't know about. A speed limit sign you missed. Suddenly it's a €200 fine and points on your licence. Most speed camera apps are slow and bloated. RadarIO is 9.6 MB and opens instantly. EVERY CAMERA ON YOUR ROUTE Fixed cameras, mobile radars, section controls and red light cameras. 79,000+ of them worldwide, refreshed every week. Other drivers report mobile radars, and you are warned about them like any other camera. Where they are set up again and again, the app remembers the spot. And every ten of your reports that other drivers confirm earn you a free month of Pro. In Spain, also the zones where the DGT deploys mobile radars, on the map and announced as you enter and leave, and its seatbelt and phone cameras. And your own radars: press and hold the map on that spot where there is always one, and you will be warned every time you pass. You get voice, sound and vibration warnings, at the distance you choose for each speed limit. You also get the limit itself, so you know what you are being measured against. Licence plate readers too, if you want them. They are off until you turn them on. They cannot fine you for speeding, so they get their own warning and never appear in your radar history. SEE HOW YOU ACTUALLY DRIVE Every drive is recorded on its own, and you can name it and file it in folders. Distance, time, your fastest routes, and the speed you passed each camera at. The road gets painted by how you drove it, compared to your own history. A live delta you can switch between your average, your best, and the limit. Replay a drive on the map with its speed graph. Follow it again turn by turn, along the same roads. Or put two drives on the same road side by side, plotted against distance instead of the clock, with both cars running at once. WHEN THE SIGNAL DROPS In a tunnel, the car keeps moving along the road instead of freezing, so exits and cameras are still announced. The app learns where your own signal dies and downloads the road ahead before you get there. FUEL, CHARGING AND YOUR CAR One button shows the fuel stations you can still reach on the range you have left, with prices, sorted by how little you leave your route. Driving electric? RadarIO plans the charging stops the trip actually needs — which chargers, which socket, how long at each. If the trip cannot be made, it tells you where you would run out. My Car keeps an odometer that updates itself as you drive, service reminders by date or mileage, and a fuel and expense log. It also remembers where you parked, without you pressing anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RadarIO at 5.0 against Speedometer Lite's 4.7. RadarIO also leads on chart position (#152 vs unranked). Speedometer Lite's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RadarIO sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Speedometer Lite sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RadarIO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer Lite has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
RadarIO ships an update monthly, Speedometer Lite every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
