Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mars at 4.8 against Speed Golf's 4.1. Mars also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 58%) and ratings volume (22K vs 244). Speed Golf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Speed Golf sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Mars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mars holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars has 22K ratings behind it against 244, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Speed Golf's written reviews are positive against 91% of Mars's.
