Scooter Speed is a simple speedometer app that uses your phone's GPS receiver to calculate your current speed and measure your travelled distance. It is completely free, with no adverts or any data collection/tracking. I made this app because there were no free speedometer apps that weren't either riddled with adverts or charging a subscription. Hope you find it useful!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ScooterSpeed at none against GPS Speedometer's shown. ScooterSpeed also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). GPS Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and ScooterSpeed sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GPS Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer has 1.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of GPS Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 100% of ScooterSpeed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPS Speedometer ships an update every 3 weeks, ScooterSpeed every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
