For the bets you already make. Friendly Wagers is the most complete golf wagering app: 44 game formats, nearly 200 rule options between them, a custom scorecard for every game that needs one, and settlement to the dollar when the last putt drops. FORTY-FOUR GAMES, PLAYED YOUR WAY Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Vegas, Bingo Bango Bongo, Stableford, Match Play, Banker, Snake, Rabbit — plus thirty-four more. Every format has its own scoring engine, properly handicapped and verified against canonical golf rules. Carryovers, presses, validation modes, point values, payout splits, team rotations: however your group plays it, the engine plays it that way too. A SCORECARD BUILT FOR THE GAME If a game scores on anything beyond strokes, it gets its own scorecard — points boards for Stableford and Nines, the Nassau press ladder, Vegas team numbers, Skins carryovers as they build. And when a game asks for a decision, the right control appears at the right moment: Wolf hands you the partner pick on the tee, a press is one button when the match turns. STACK YOUR GAMES Run up to three games on a single round. Each settles independently, then everything nets into one clean who-owes-whom list. LIVE SCORING Every player scores from their own phone. Updates sync across the group in seconds — no one is yelling totals from the cart. SETTLE CLEAN When the round ends, the app computes the whole web of debts and nets it per pair: Alex owes Sam $40. Tap a line to see the per-game math behind it, then settle the way you already do — prefilled Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App links, or copy a Zelle handle and mark it paid. Friendly Wagers handles the math only. It does not move money, process payments, hold funds, or offer gambling of any kind. It's a scorekeeper for the bets between friends. THE VAULT Running head-to-head balances across every round you've played together — the ledger your group has been keeping on a napkin. TOURNAMENTS AND LEAGUES Host multi-round events with flights, cuts, and side pots, or run a season-long league with standings — covered by one organizer's Premium subscription. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: Skins and Stroke Play with full settlement, the Vault, and unlimited rounds — never interrupted by upsells. Premium ($2.99/month or $24.99/year, one month free on the yearly plan for new subscribers) unlocks the other 42 formats, tournament and league hosting, round-summary PDFs, and deeper Vault analytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Friendly Wagers at none against Two Up's shown. Two Up's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, rating, 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. Two Up sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Friendly Wagers sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Two Up against 5.0 for Friendly Wagers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Two Up has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
