The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TPC Group at none against Golf Magazine's 10. TPC Group also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Golf Magazine's advantage is ratings volume (660 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
