No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device. We can't see how you use the app β€” by design. WHY THIS APP EXISTS Speedometer apps are notorious for paywalling basic features. HUD mode? Subscription. Trip history beyond 5 trips? Subscription. Different unit? Subscription. A simple speed display should not cost $30 a year. Pocket Speedometer ships every feature on day one, free, with no plans to ever paywall anything. Built by one developer who got tired of the upsells. β€” No subscription. No ads. Forever.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Speedometer at none against Track Ledger's 1. Pocket Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Track Ledger's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
