Trusted by more than 60,000 coaches and used for over 600,000 games. Coaching should be about your players and the game - not trying to remember who needs to come off, who has played the longest, or when the next substitution should happen. SubTime takes the stress out of game-day management. Built for youth sports coaches, it helps you manage playing time, plan substitutions, organize lineups, track game events, and keep your coaching team on the same page - all from one app. GIVE EVERY PLAYER FAIR PLAYING TIME No more guessing who has played the most. The game clock and sub timer run together, so you see each player's playing and bench time at a glance throughout the match. SubTime makes it easier to balance minutes, spot who is due for a rest, and give every player a fair opportunity to participate. It's especially useful for youth coaches who want to keep playing time transparent and avoid the post-game question: "Why didn't my child play more?" TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF SUBSTITUTIONS Plan your substitutions before the game or manage them as the action unfolds. SubTime shows who's currently playing, who's on the bench, and who should come on next - so you can make changes without losing focus on the match. Auto Plan also works mid-game, so you can rebuild the rotation after a late arrival or an injury. ARRIVE WITH A GAME PLAN Build your roster, mark attendance, assign player positions, and prepare your starting lineup before kickoff. Pick a standard formation or build a custom one, then save your favorite lineups and reuse them for future games. You can also plan your rotation in advance: either create your own substitution plan or use the Auto Plan feature to generate one that spreads playing time evenly. DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED Game day rarely goes to plan, and SubTime has been fine-tuned over years of real matches to cope. A player arrives late. Someone picks up an injury. You make a substitution in the heat of the moment and forget to record it. A guest player turns up to fill a gap in the squad. Rework the squad, the rotation, and the record - adjust as you go or amend after the game, without restarting or losing what you've already tracked. TRACK THE GAME WHILE YOU COACH Record events as they happen - goals, assists, cards, substitutions, and custom events of your own. When the final whistle goes, everything is already organized. Review playing time, player participation, game history, and season statistics without rebuilding it from memory. Game history and player stats export to CSV for club reporting, auditing, or season records. COACH TOGETHER WITH SUBTIME LIVE Game management doesn't have to fall on one person. Share your team with assistant coaches and team managers. With SubTime Live, multiple coaches can collaborate during the same game - one manages substitutions while another tracks events. Family and friends can follow along as viewers, at the field or from home. FOR CLUBS AND MULTIPLE TEAMS Running more than one team?

Yardage answers one question: what's the yardage to the hole? Start a round and see one large number — the distance from where you're standing to the center of the green. Then put your phone away. Automatic Hole Changes move you to the next hole when Yardage is confident, and your current hole and yardage stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Glance, play, keep walking. Previous and Next are always one tap away if you want them. — Distance to the mapped center of the green (not the flag — pin positions change daily) — Automatic Hole Changes, with Previous, Next and Undo always in your control — Your hole and yardage on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — Play Again starts your last course in one tap — No scorecards, no maps, no clutter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SubTime at 731 against Yardage Golf GPS's 2. SubTime also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Yardage Golf GPS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SubTime sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Yardage Golf GPS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Yardage Golf GPS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubTime has 731 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of SubTime's written reviews are positive against 100% of Yardage Golf GPS's.
