TrueLean vs RideMetrics
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
TrueLean
This app accurately measures your motorcycle's lean angle during corners, providing detailed ride data and history. It offers a live instrument cluster, ride saving with route mapping, and exportable data. Designed for privacy with no accounts or ads.
- Accurate lean angle measurement
- Live instrument cluster with speed and g-force
- Ride history with route mapping
- Exportable ride data (GPX/CSV)
- Hands-free start/stop
- Battery optimization for long rides

TrueLean™ measures how far your motorcycle actually leans - the real angle through a corner, not what a bubble level would show. In a steady corner, gravity and cornering force combine to point straight down the bike's own vertical axis, which is exactly why a plain accelerometer reads near zero mid-turn. TrueLean fuses gyroscope attitude with cornering physics, so the number on screen is the lean you're really carrying - accurate through transitions and steady-state alike. One tap zeroes your mount, and it works at any mount angle. A LIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER • Big, glanceable lean gauge with zone colors and max-lean markers • Speed, distance, lean, and g-force tiles, plus a ride timer • Portrait or landscape, with an OLED-friendly dark cluster • Keeps recording with the screen off or the app in the background EVERY RIDE, SAVED • Full ride history with personal bests • Route map colored by lean angle, with your deepest-lean markers • Lean and speed timelines, g-forces, and complete stats • 0–60 mph / 0–100 km/h acceleration timing YOURS TO KEEP • Export any ride as GPX (with lean/speed) or CSV from the share sheet • Hands-free start/stop via the Action Button and Siri • Built for long rides: adapts the screen, sensors, and processing to save battery without ever dropping recording fidelity PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs • Your ride data stays on your device and is never sent to us • Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to export and share it RIDE RESPONSIBLY TrueLean is a recreational tool for reviewing your rides - not a safety device, and its readings are estimates. Mount your phone securely, set up before you move, and never interact with the app while riding. Obey the law, ride within your limits, and save record-chasing for a closed course. Requires an iPhone with a gyroscope. Designed for a rigid handlebar/fork mount.
RideMetrics
Record and analyze motorcycle rides with detailed telemetry data. Track progress on specific routes, review sector times, and compare performance over time. Export your ride data for deeper analysis.
- Record rides turn-by-turn
- Import GeoJSON routes
- Automatic route splitting
- Track speed, lean angle, and G-force
- Compare ride history
- Export ride data (CSV, GPX)

RideMetrics allows motorcyclists to record rides turn by turn and convert them into clear, useful data. Create a route for a ride or import a planned GeoJSON route. App will split it into sectors, and review each of them with maps, timing and telemetry. RideMetrics tracks time splits, speed, lean angle, lateral G and longitudinal G, so you can see what happened across the whole route, specific sector or any exact moment. After you can compare to previous hits. It's crucial for the person who: • Often rides the same route and want to measure the progress. • What to see exact numbers of the rides • Review sector times, average speed, max speed, min speed and lean angle • Compare ride history on saved routes • View route direction and segment-by-segment results What app can do for you: • Import routes from GeoJSON files or record on the go with max precision GPS and motion data • Automatically split routes into rideable sections based on your preferences. • Export ride results as CSV and GPX • Export raw telemetry for deeper analysis RideMetrics is built for training, route review and personal analysis. Your ride data stays on your device only. The free version keeps up to 5 saved routes plus your latest recorded route. RideMetrics Premium unlocks the full ride toolkit, including unlimited saved routes, advanced ride history, export and backup tools, and premium telemetry views. Use responsibly and follow local traffic laws. RideMetrics is intended for personal analysis and training environments, not for unsafe riding.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RideMetrics at none against TrueLean's 3. RideMetrics also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
