# Ultimate Golf! vs Stinger Golf

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.

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.

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.

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.
