Pinatamasters also leads on ratings volume (71K vs 6.7K) and review sentiment (72% vs 63%). Golfmasters's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0).

Both are free to download. Golfmasters sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Pinatamasters sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinatamasters has 71K ratings behind it against 6.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
