Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Topgolf at weekly against Platinum Media's every 5 months. Topgolf also leads on ratings volume (94K vs 21) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Platinum Media's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 57%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Topgolf holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Topgolf has 94K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Topgolf's written reviews are positive against 67% of Platinum Media's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Topgolf ships an update weekly, Platinum Media every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
