# Mygolfstat vs Sparrow

The clearest difference is rating: Mygolfstat at 5.0 against Sparrow's 4.5. Mygolfstat also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Sparrow's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (29% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mygolfstat sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.95 per year and Sparrow sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mygolfstat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sparrow has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Mygolfstat's written reviews are positive against 29% of Sparrow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mygolfstat ships an update every 5 months, Sparrow every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 7, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
