# Topgolf vs G Golf

Topgolf and G Golf both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of G Golf's written reviews are positive against 57% of Topgolf's. G Golf also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Topgolf's advantage is ratings volume (91K vs 6) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Topgolf against 5.0 for G Golf. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Topgolf has 91K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Topgolf's written reviews are positive against 100% of G Golf's.
