# Nova Golf Lite vs Ski Zoo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ski Zoo at 80% against Nova Golf Lite's 61%. Ski Zoo also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 18.0).

Both are free to download. Nova Golf Lite sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ski Zoo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
