Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ref at 100% against Asian Tour's 23%. Ref also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.7). Asian Tour's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ref holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asian Tour has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Asian Tour's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ref's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
