Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stinger Golf at none against Ultimate Golf!'s shown. Stinger Golf also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 62%). Ultimate Golf!'s advantage is ratings volume (154K vs 90) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Ultimate Golf! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Stinger Golf sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ultimate Golf! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate Golf! has 154K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Ultimate Golf!'s written reviews are positive against 81% of Stinger Golf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ultimate Golf! ships an update every 2 weeks, Stinger Golf every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
