# Shot Scope vs Pinned Golf App

The clearest difference is rating: Shot Scope at 4.6 against Pinned Golf App's 4.0. Shot Scope also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 21). Pinned Golf App's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Scope sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pinned Golf App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $69.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shot Scope holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Scope has 1.3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Shot Scope's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pinned Golf App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shot Scope ships an update every 8 days, Pinned Golf App every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
