# GPS Speedometer vs Speedometer

The clearest difference is monetization model: GPS Speedometer at free with in-app purchases against Speedometer's subscription. GPS Speedometer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 251). Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Speedometer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 251, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of GPS Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 71% of Speedometer's.

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 3 weeks, Speedometer every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
