# Trackman Golf vs PayUpGolf

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trackman Golf at none against PayUpGolf's 5. Trackman Golf also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (45K vs 5). PayUpGolf's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.5). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PayUpGolf sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Trackman Golf asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Trackman Golf against 5.0 for PayUpGolf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trackman Golf has 45K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Trackman Golf ships an update fortnightly, PayUpGolf weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
