"Most golfers track their score. Elite golfers track their failures. That's where the strokes are." --- Most apps make you choose between tracking everything and tracking nothing. Thirty seconds of logging per hole, data you'll never look at, or you just skip it. Neither one actually helps. Rangebook lets you pick your battles. Choose from 29 metrics across six categories (Driving, Approach, Putting, Short Game, Scoring, and Mental) and turn on only what matters to your game. Everything else disappears. Log a full hole in under three seconds on your way to the next tee. --- TRACK StatCockpit is built for the course. Tactile inputs, haptic feedback, and smart dependencies that stay out of your way: approach stats only show up when you missed the green; driving stats hide on par 3s. Your data builds quietly while you play. GPS distances to front, center, and back of the green live right inside the scoring screen. No switching apps mid-round. --- ANALYZE Performance charts show you what your gut misses: GIR trends, putting distribution, scoring by par, fairway tendencies, directional miss patterns. Your Player DNA profile fills in automatically as rounds accumulate, giving you a clear picture of where your game actually stands. --- IMPROVE This isn't generic coaching pulled from a database. Rangebook works from your actual rounds, your misses, your course history, your mental game, and gives you guidance that's specific to you. Coach's Corner Deep AI analysis across 15-20 rounds. Finds the patterns you'd never spot yourself: what happens to your putting when your focus score drops, why you're bleeding strokes on approach at certain yardages, whether your scrambling holds up under pressure. The Scouting Report Before you tee off, get a tactical breakdown built from your history at that exact course. Where you lost strokes last time. Which holes gave you trouble. What to do differently today. Course Caddy Hole-by-hole tips as you play, pulled from your tendencies and whatever's happening in your current round. The Forge Ask questions in plain English and generate charts from your own data. "Show me my score on par 5s over time." "Compare my GIR when I hit fairway vs. missed." --- THE LEDGER Every round you've played, searchable and reviewable. Trophy Cards capture your best performances. --- PLANS Free: Round tracking, GPS distances, performance charts, lifetime history. No account required to start. Apex Performance: $9.99/month or $99.99/year - both with a 1-month free trial. Unlocks AI coaching (Coach's Corner, Scouting Report, Course Caddy, The Forge), custom chart builder, data export, and premium Trophy Cards. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swing Calc at none against Rangebook Golf's 2. Swing Calc also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Rangebook Golf's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
