# GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker vs HUD Widgets

The clearest difference is rating: GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker at 4.7 against HUD Widgets's 3.5. GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 109). HUD Widgets's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and HUD Widgets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker has 13K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two.
