Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Swing Coach at 3.3K against ShotNotes's 1. Swing Coach also leads on chart position (#45 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). ShotNotes's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Swing Coach against 5.0 for ShotNotes.
