Using a top of the line laser from the land surveying industry, this advanced technology scans the surface of each green for millions of data points that are accurate to the millimeter to pick up even the most subtle elevation changes. It displays an interactive topography map for each green we've scanned. You can zoom in and out to see the contours and slope percentages, adjust the grid, view a spinning 3D animation, and even calculate your exact putt line (StrackaLine) by setting the hole location and your ball location. Just like a video game, but the information is real! Available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, using raw X, Y, Z data points, the device: ● Will calculate all the one inch contours of the putting green ● Will calculate the slope percentages for the whole putting green ● Will calculate the Fall Lines for each hole location ● Will show you the approach angle to the green ● Will calculate the target of your putt ● Will allow you to zoom in and out to see more or less detail With our state of the art technology, join us in revolutionizing the most important part of the golf, putting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Golfmetrics at 3.8 against StrackaLine's 3.2. Golfmetrics also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). StrackaLine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golfmetrics sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. StrackaLine asks for nothing beyond the download.
Golfmetrics holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golfmetrics has 122 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Golfmetrics's written reviews are positive against 22% of StrackaLine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Golfmetrics ships an update fortnightly, StrackaLine every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
