Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker at none against GPS Data's shown. GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

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

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker has 13K ratings behind it against 458, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker's written reviews are positive against 76% of GPS Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPS Speedometer MPH Tracker ships an update every 4 days, GPS Data fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
