# Square Golf vs The Shack App

The clearest difference is rating: The Shack App at 5.0 against Square Golf's 3.5. The Shack App also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). Square Golf's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 1) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Square Golf sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. The Shack App asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Shack App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Golf has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Square Golf's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Shack App's.
