Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Squabbit at none against PayUpGolf's shown. Squabbit also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence 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. Squabbit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per year and PayUpGolf sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Squabbit against 5.0 for PayUpGolf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squabbit has 5.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Squabbit ships an update every 6 days, PayUpGolf weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
