# Golfer vs Squabbit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Golfer at none against Squabbit's 10. Squabbit's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squabbit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year. Golfer asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Golfer against 4.9 for Squabbit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squabbit has 5.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Golfer ships an update every 4 months, Squabbit every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
