# GolfPass vs Hooked Fisherman

The clearest difference is ads: Hooked Fisherman at none against GolfPass's shown. Hooked Fisherman also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GolfPass's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GolfPass sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Hooked Fisherman sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hooked Fisherman 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GolfPass ships an update every 4 weeks, Hooked Fisherman every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
