Speed turns your iPhone into a glowing car-style dashboard: a big GPS speedometer with a sweeping blue arc, plus compass, altitude and G-force dials on one dark, glanceable screen. THE DASHBOARD - Large GPS speedometer with an animated gauge and huge digits you can read at a glance - Compass dial with a smooth rotating needle - Live altitude readout from GPS - G-force meter that plots acceleration in real time BUILT FOR EVERY JOURNEY - Works in cars, on bikes, boats and trains - anywhere with a GPS signal - km/h, mph or knots, with the gauge scale adapting to your unit - Altitude in metres or feet to match - Keep-screen-awake option so the dashboard never sleeps mid-drive TRIP STATS - Distance, maximum speed, average speed and moving time - Trip start time, with one-tap reset for a fresh journey PRIVACY FIRST Your location never leaves your device - no accounts, no route uploads, no history stored anywhere but your phone. REMOVE ADS Speed is free with occasional ads. A single one-time purchase removes every ad forever. Glance down, know your speed. Drive safe. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Speed readings come from your device's GPS and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Accuracy varies with GPS signal, weather and surroundings, and readings may differ from your vehicle's certified instruments - always rely on your vehicle's own speedometer for driving decisions. Never interact with your phone while driving: set up the app before you set off, mount the device securely, and keep your eyes on the road. Always obey local speed limits and traffic laws.

Tacho shows how fast you are going and counts how far you have come. Nothing else, but that part properly. THREE UNITS AT ONCE Kilometres per hour, knots and miles per hour sit side by side. You decide which one is large in the middle. If you only need one, hide the others. DISTANCE IN LEGS Split the distance you cover into legs and give each leg a name. That keeps a trip readable afterwards without writing anything down. BUILT FOR LONG TRIPS Location runs in a frugal mode with coarser accuracy by default instead of at full load all the time. Switch to full accuracy in the settings if you need it. The screen stays awake on request, so the reading stays visible while driving, sailing or cycling. ON APPLE WATCH AS WELL The watch shows the same display and measures with its own GPS, so the iPhone can stay in your pocket. A complication puts Tacho on screen straight from the watch face. NONE OF THE THINGS YOU DID NOT ASK FOR No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your position is evaluated on the device and never leaves it. The app works without an internet connection. NOTE The speed shown comes from satellite positioning. In tunnels, between tall buildings and with poor reception it can deviate. It does not replace the vehicle speedometer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: digoTacho at none against Speed's 1. digoTacho also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
