# Golf GPS++ vs Awesome Golf Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Golf GPS++ at 4.6 against Awesome Golf Simulator's 4.2. Golf GPS++ also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 280). Awesome Golf Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 44%) and chart position (#111 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf GPS++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Awesome Golf Simulator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf GPS++ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf GPS++ has 4.7K ratings behind it against 280, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Golf GPS++'s written reviews are positive against 65% of Awesome Golf Simulator'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 monthly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
