FAQ

What’s the best free GPS video overlay tool?

Stamptivity Overlay is the only one of these four with a genuine, unlimited free tier — free forever, no watermark, no trial, no video length cap. GaugeReel has a limited free tier; GpxOverlay and Telemetry Overlay require payment to export at all (beyond Telemetry Overlay’s 3-day watermarked trial).

Which tool has the most gauges?

Telemetry Overlay claims the largest fixed library — hundreds of gauge types and styles. GaugeReel publishes 48+ gauges (22 draw styles each) and GpxOverlay 29+ widgets. Stamptivity’s system is composable rather than a fixed catalogue: 15 data channels × up to 8 styles each, 60+ combinations in the picker — plus every element rebinds to any data source rather than being tied to one gauge.

Which tool reads GoPro/DJI telemetry directly from the video file?

GaugeReel and Telemetry Overlay both auto-scan embedded GPMF metadata from the video. Stamptivity and GpxOverlay need a separate GPX or FIT file.

Which is the only browser-based option with no install?

Stamptivity and GpxOverlay both run entirely in the browser. GaugeReel and Telemetry Overlay are native desktop apps you install.

Which one should I use?

If your data is a plain GPX/FIT file and you want the whole thing free with no strings, use Stamptivity. If you need the deepest format/gauge support and don’t mind paying once, Telemetry Overlay. If your footage has embedded GPMF and no separate GPX file, GaugeReel. See each dedicated comparison below for the full breakdown.
