Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Yips at 100% against GolfPass's 46%. The Yips also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GolfPass's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GolfPass sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and The Yips sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Yips holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GolfPass has 5.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of GolfPass's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Yips's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
