# Golfmetrics vs Stripey

The clearest difference is rating: Stripey at 5.0 against Golfmetrics's 3.9. Golfmetrics's advantage is ratings volume (126 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golfmetrics sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Stripey sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stripey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golfmetrics has 126 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Golfmetrics ships an update fortnightly, Stripey every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
