# iGolf vs PuttView

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iGolf at none against PuttView's 2. iGolf also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). PuttView's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 51%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PuttView sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. iGolf asks for nothing beyond the download.

iGolf holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of iGolf's written reviews are positive against 81% of PuttView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iGolf ships an update every 2 months, PuttView every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
