# GPS Speedometer vs Speedometer

The clearest difference is rating: GPS Speedometer at 4.6 against Speedometer's 3.0. GPS Speedometer also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPS Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of GPS Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 80% of Speedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 2 weeks, Speedometer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
