Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AntScope at 2.3 against GoldenMate's 1.5. AntScope also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 11). GoldenMate's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AntScope holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AntScope has 58 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of AntScope's written reviews are positive against 25% of GoldenMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AntScope ships an update every 3 months, GoldenMate every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
