Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My CDGA at 4.0 against IHSA Golf's 3.1. My CDGA also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). IHSA Golf's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
