Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smash Hit at 4.6 against Speed Golf's 4.1. Smash Hit also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 58%) and ratings volume (109K vs 245). Speed Golf's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
