Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Golf Odyssey at 4.7 against Cube Runner's 3.9. Golf Odyssey also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 494) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Cube Runner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf Odyssey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Cube Runner asks for nothing beyond the download.
Golf Odyssey holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Odyssey has 4.4K ratings behind it against 494, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cube Runner's written reviews are positive against 65% of Golf Odyssey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cube Runner ships an update every 5 months, Golf Odyssey every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
