# GPS Speedometer vs TAK Tracker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TAK Tracker at none against GPS Speedometer's 10. TAK Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). GPS Speedometer's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, 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. TAK Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.

TAK Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 7, 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 100% of TAK Tracker's.

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 3 weeks, TAK Tracker every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
