# GolfPass vs LIV Golf

The clearest difference is ads: LIV Golf at none against GolfPass's shown. LIV Golf also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 46%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GolfPass sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LIV Golf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for GolfPass against 4.8 for LIV Golf. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5.5K and 4.8K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of GolfPass's written reviews are positive against 74% of LIV Golf's.

GolfPass ships an update every 4 weeks, LIV Golf weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
