# Shot Pattern vs GolfSkool Analyzer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Shot Pattern at 2.1K against GolfSkool Analyzer's 1.

Both are free to download. Shot Pattern sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and GolfSkool Analyzer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
