# Speedometer Lite vs Mycel

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Speedometer Lite at 12 against Mycel's 1. Speedometer Lite also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Mycel's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer Lite sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Mycel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 Lite against 5.0 for Mycel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer Lite has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Speedometer Lite ships an update every 10 days, Mycel every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
