Awesome Golf Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (280 vs 7) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Awesome Golf Simulator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and GolfPal sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
