# TheGrint vs 19th Tee

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 19th Tee at none against TheGrint's 12. 19th Tee also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). TheGrint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheGrint sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 19th Tee asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for TheGrint against 5.0 for 19th Tee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheGrint has 34K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of TheGrint's written reviews are positive against 100% of 19th Tee's.

TheGrint ships an update weekly, 19th Tee every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
