# Garmin Golf vs E6 CONNECT

The clearest difference is rating: Garmin Golf at 4.6 against E6 CONNECT's 2.6. Garmin Golf also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 23%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 328). E6 CONNECT's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Garmin Golf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and E6 CONNECT sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
