# Golf GPS++ vs Simple Golf GPS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Golf GPS at 100% against Golf GPS++'s 44%. Simple Golf GPS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.6). Golf GPS++'s advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 15) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf GPS++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Simple Golf GPS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Golf GPS++ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf GPS++ has 4.7K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Golf GPS++'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Golf GPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
