GPS Speedometer: Free vs PRO
GPS Speedometer is free to download, and its core stays free forever: live GPS speed in MPH, km/h, and knots, trip stats, simple HUD mode, G-Force meter, Apple Music control, offline tracking, and no ads. The PRO upgrade unlocks speed-limit and speed-camera alerts (SCDB.info, 40+ countries), Picture-in-Picture, GPX export, weather, unlimited trips, and advanced themes — as a one-time purchase or a subscription, your choice, both unlocking the same features.

Straight answer on the paywall
"Paywall" is a fair complaint to check before you download, so here it is plainly: you can use GPS Speedometer as a complete, ad-free speedometer without paying anything. The free tier covers live speed, all three unit systems, your trip's maximum speed, average speed, and distance, the simple HUD windshield mode, the G-Force meter, and Apple Music control — and it keeps working offline.
PRO covers the data that genuinely costs us to run and maintain — automatic speed-limit data and the licensed SCDB.info speed-camera database covering 40+ countries — plus the convenience extras: Picture-in-Picture, GPX export and trip sharing, live weather, unlimited trip history, and advanced themes. If you do not need those, you never hit a wall.
Payment goes through Apple, so you always see the price and confirm before anything is charged. A one-time purchase and a subscription are both available and unlock the same features — pick whichever suits you. Prices vary by country and current promotions, so the App Store listing shows your exact price before you buy.
Pricing FAQ
Is GPS Speedometer free?
Yes. GPS Speedometer is free to download, and the core speedometer stays free forever — live speed, MPH/km/h/knots units, trip stats (max, average, distance), basic themes, and offline tracking never require payment. There are also no ads in the current version.
What do I get with PRO?
The PRO upgrade unlocks automatic road speed-limit alerts, speed-camera alerts powered by the SCDB.info database across 40+ countries, Picture-in-Picture mode, GPX export and trip sharing, live weather, unlimited saved trips, and advanced themes. Everything you need for a working speedometer — including the simple HUD mode, G-Force meter, and Apple Music control — is in the free version.
Is PRO a subscription or a one-time purchase?
Your choice — both exist, and they unlock exactly the same PRO features. Pick a one-time purchase if you prefer paying once, or a subscription if you prefer spreading it out. Prices vary by country and by running promotions, so the current price for your region is always shown on the App Store before you buy. All payments are handled by Apple through your Apple ID — refunds and billing questions go through Apple support.
Do I have to pay to remove ads?
No. The current version has no advertisements at all, on the free tier included. You are not paying for PRO to remove ads — you are paying for the alert and trip-history features listed above.
