# PGA Tour vs TailgateTime

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TailgateTime at 100% against PGA Tour's 18%. TailgateTime also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). PGA Tour's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (45K vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TailgateTime sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PGA Tour asks for nothing beyond the download.

TailgateTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PGA Tour has 45K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of PGA Tour's written reviews are positive against 100% of TailgateTime's.

PGA Tour ships an update weekly, TailgateTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
