# Tour Read Golf vs The Scratch App

The clearest difference is rating: The Scratch App at 5.0 against Tour Read Golf's 4.0. The Scratch App also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Tour Read Golf's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tour Read Golf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and The Scratch App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Scratch App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tour Read Golf has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Tour Read Golf's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Scratch App's.

Tour Read Golf ships an update every 6 months, The Scratch App every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
