A free Telemetry Overlay alternative — no $199, no trial
Telemetry Overlay is the deepest, most established tool here — $199 one-time, hundreds of gauges, the broadest format support. Its free trial is 3 days, watermarked, capped at 2 files.
If you just need clean GPS gauges on video from a GPX/FIT file, Stamptivity does that free, forever, with no clock running.

Pick the right tool
Neither is strictly better
Choose Stamptivity if…
- Your data is a plain GPX or FIT file and you want clean gauges on video for free.
- You don’t want to install anything or manage a license.
- You’d rather not run a 3-day trial clock before deciding.
- You’re fine with a smaller, composable gauge set instead of hundreds of fixed styles.
Choose Telemetry Overlay if…
- You need exotic formats — VBOX, IGC, NMEA, or racing-logger CSVs.
- You want native GPMF support across a very long list of camera models.
- You produce enough content that $199 one-time beats any free tool’s ceiling.
- You want batch/queue export for processing many clips at once.
FAQ
How much does Telemetry Overlay cost?
$199 one-time (discounted from $299), which includes 1 year of updates and support — renewing after that costs extra. Stamptivity Overlay is free, with no purchase, ever.
Is the Telemetry Overlay trial free to use?
The trial runs 3 days, adds a watermark, caps you at 2 consecutive files, and disables transparent export, GPS imagery, and batch export. Stamptivity has no trial — every feature is free and unlimited from the start.
Which one supports more cameras and file formats?
Telemetry Overlay is broader — GPX, KML, NMEA, IGC, CSV (AiM, RaceChrono, ArduPilot, Tesla), VBOX and FIT, plus native GPMF from a long list of GoPro/DJI/Insta360/Garmin models. Stamptivity currently supports GPX and FIT.
Does Stamptivity run on Linux?
Yes — any modern browser on any OS, including Linux. Telemetry Overlay also ships native Linux (DEB/RPM) packages, so both cover it; Telemetry Overlay is the more mature native option if you specifically want a desktop app.
Is Stamptivity a real alternative for professional use, or just the free trial replacement?
It depends on your format needs. If your data is plain GPX/FIT and you just need clean gauges on video for free, Stamptivity covers it fully. If you need the depth of hundreds of gauge styles, batch export, or exotic formats like VBOX or IGC, Telemetry Overlay’s $199 is the more capable tool.
