Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyScorecard at 4.6 against The Golf Counter's 4.0. MyScorecard also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 157) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). The Golf Counter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
