Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Team Builder at none against Golf Teams's 1. Team Builder also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Golf Teams's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (91 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
