# MyScorecard vs Handicap Tracker

MyScorecard and Handicap Tracker both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Handicap Tracker's written reviews are positive against 31% of MyScorecard's. Handicap Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). MyScorecard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 209). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyScorecard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Handicap Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MyScorecard against 4.6 for Handicap Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScorecard has 6.7K ratings behind it against 209, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of MyScorecard's written reviews are positive against 73% of Handicap Tracker's.

MyScorecard ships an update every 2 months, Handicap Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
