# Speedometer vs Rovy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Speedometer at 179 against Rovy's 6. Speedometer also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Rovy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Speedometer against 5.0 for Rovy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer has 179 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
