# KickUp Cup vs Golf Orbit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KickUp Cup at 100% against Golf Orbit's 25%. KickUp Cup also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Golf Orbit's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (59K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KickUp Cup sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Golf Orbit sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf Orbit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Orbit has 59K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of KickUp Cup's written reviews are positive against 25% of Golf Orbit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KickUp Cup ships an update every 7 months, Golf Orbit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
