# GolfShare vs Backswing

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Backswing at none against GolfShare's 5. Backswing also leads on ratings volume (70 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). GolfShare's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GolfShare sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.00 per month. Backswing asks for nothing beyond the download.

GolfShare holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backswing has 70 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of GolfShare's written reviews are positive against 96% of Backswing's.

GolfShare ships an update every 5 days, Backswing every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
