Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Open at 4.6 against DP World Tour's 2.7. The Open also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 107). DP World Tour's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Open holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Open has 4.9K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of DP World Tour's written reviews are positive against 28% of The Open's.
DP World Tour ships an update fortnightly, The Open every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
