# Vista Golf vs Ready Set Golf

The clearest difference is rating: Ready Set Golf at 4.7 against Vista Golf's 4.4. Vista Golf's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 205) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vista Golf sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ready Set Golf sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ready Set Golf holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vista Golf has 1.5K ratings behind it against 205, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Vista Golf's written reviews are positive against 67% of Ready Set Golf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
