Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Loop Golf at 5.0 against My CDGA's 4.0. Loop Golf also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). My CDGA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop Golf sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $49.00 per year. My CDGA asks for nothing beyond the download.
Loop Golf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My CDGA has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
My CDGA ships an update every 5 months, Loop Golf every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
