# Speedometer Simple vs Speedometer

Speedometer Simple and Speedometer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Speedometer's written reviews are positive against 58% of Speedometer Simple's. Speedometer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Speedometer Simple's advantage is ratings volume (128K vs 42) and chart position (#24 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. Speedometer Simple sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Speedometer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
