Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Smash Puck at 125 against Dinkigolf's 4. Smash Puck also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 75%).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Smash Puck costs $1.99 and Dinkigolf $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dinkigolf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Puck has 125 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Smash Puck's written reviews are positive against 75% of Dinkigolf'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. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
