# Darts Match vs Golf Strike

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Darts Match at 75% against Golf Strike's 19%. Golf Strike's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (12K vs 47). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Darts Match sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Golf Strike sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf Strike holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Strike has 12K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Darts Match's written reviews are positive against 19% of Golf Strike's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Darts Match ships an update every 5 months, Golf Strike every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
