# TheGrint vs FORE! Golf

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FORE! Golf at none against TheGrint's 10. FORE! Golf also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). TheGrint's advantage is ratings volume (34K vs 6) and chart position (#55 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheGrint sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. FORE! Golf 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 FORE! Golf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheGrint has 34K ratings behind it against 6, 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 FORE! Golf's.

TheGrint ships an update weekly, FORE! Golf every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
