Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Golf Blitz at 4.7 against DUAL!'s 4.1. Golf Blitz also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 2.4K). DUAL!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 54%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUAL! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Golf Blitz sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Golf Blitz holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Blitz has 95K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of DUAL!'s written reviews are positive against 54% of Golf Blitz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DUAL! ships an update every 3 months, Golf Blitz every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
