# Roundabout vs Simple Golf GPS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Golf GPS at 100% against Roundabout's 56%. Simple Golf GPS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Roundabout's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.1K vs 15). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roundabout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Simple Golf GPS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Roundabout holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roundabout has 5.1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Roundabout's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Golf GPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
