Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Illinois PGA Section at 5.0 against My CDGA's 4.0. Illinois PGA Section also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). My CDGA's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
