Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyScorecard at 4.6 against Digital Fairways's 3.9. MyScorecard also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 69). Digital Fairways's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 31%) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyScorecard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Digital Fairways asks for nothing beyond the download.
MyScorecard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScorecard has 6.7K ratings behind it against 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of MyScorecard's written reviews are positive against 72% of Digital Fairways's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyScorecard ships an update every 2 months, Digital Fairways every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
