# Speedometer Simple vs Speedy Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedy Pro at 100% against Speedometer Simple's 58%. Speedy Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Speedometer Simple's advantage is ratings volume (128K vs 7) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedometer Simple sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Speedy Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speedy Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer Simple has 128K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Speedometer Simple's written reviews are positive against 100% of Speedy Pro's.
