Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GimmieGolf at free against GolfRuleCaddie's free with in-app purchases. GimmieGolf also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). GolfRuleCaddie's advantage is ratings volume (159 vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
