# Swing Replay vs Shot Pattern

The clearest difference is update cadence: Shot Pattern at every 3 days against Swing Replay's every 3 weeks. Shot Pattern also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 84) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). Swing Replay's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swing Replay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and Shot Pattern sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Swing Replay against 4.8 for Shot Pattern. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Pattern has 2.1K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two.
