The clearest difference is rating: Golf Master! at 4.6 against Golf Star™'s 3.5. Golf Master! also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 1.8K) and review sentiment (51% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golf Star™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Golf Master! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf Master! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5.
