# Golf Blitz vs Shokunin

The clearest difference is ads: Shokunin at none against Golf Blitz's shown. Shokunin also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Golf Blitz's advantage is ratings volume (95K vs 4) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf Blitz sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Shokunin sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shokunin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Blitz has 95K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Golf Blitz ships an update every 2 weeks, Shokunin every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
