# GolfPass vs LinePlay Golf

The clearest difference is ads: LinePlay Golf at none against GolfPass's shown. LinePlay Golf also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GolfPass's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

LinePlay Golf 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GolfPass ships an update every 4 weeks, LinePlay Golf every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
