Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ESGolf at 2.9 against SKYTRAK Lite's 2.7. ESGolf also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SKYTRAK Lite's advantage is ratings volume (273 vs 16) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ESGolf holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SKYTRAK Lite has 273 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of SKYTRAK Lite's written reviews are positive against 20% of ESGolf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SKYTRAK Lite ships an update every 2 months, ESGolf every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
