# Golf Rival vs Disc Golf Valley

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Golf Rival at 157K against Disc Golf Valley's 2.2K. Golf Rival also leads on chart position (#10 vs #89). Disc Golf Valley's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 38%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf Rival sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Disc Golf Valley sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf Rival holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Rival has 157K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Golf Rival's written reviews are positive against 52% of Disc Golf Valley's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Golf Rival ships an update every 9 days, Disc Golf Valley fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
