Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Speedo at free with in-app purchases against Speedometer's subscription. Speedo also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Speedometer's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (251 vs 58). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speedo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Speedometer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 58 and 251 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Speedo's written reviews are positive against 71% of Speedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speedo ships an update every 3 weeks, Speedometer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
