# Swing Coach vs ShotNotes

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.

Both are free to download. Swing Coach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and ShotNotes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for Swing Coach against 5.0 for ShotNotes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swing Coach has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Swing Coach's written reviews are positive against 100% of ShotNotes's.

Swing Coach ships an update every 3 weeks, ShotNotes every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
