Having tried both, Golfshot is a solid choice for serious players. I appreciate their clean interface for serious data analysis.

I’m curious—can anyone share if either app has improved their GPS accuracy over time? It was a bit wonky for me in early versions.

I haven’t noticed much change with Golfshot. It’s been consistent but never perfect. Not sure about 18Birdies.

I’ve compared Golfshot and 18Birdies, and honestly, their pricing structures are quite different. Golfshot offers a robust free version, while 18Birdies’ premium features are more limited unless you opt for their subscription.

That’s interesting! I do think Golfshot’s free version is a huge plus. However, I found 18Birdies has better in-app purchases for performance tracking. It just depends on what you need most.

Both apps have premium subscriptions, but Golfshot’s one-time payment option is appealing for those who dislike monthly fees. That might make it a better value for golfers looking to save in the long run.

Exactly! Plus, they often offer discounts on their premium version. I guess it depends on how much you play golf and how serious you are about using app features.

I’m really intrigued by 18Birdies’ features. They offer a mix of free and premium services, but I feel like I’m being pushed toward the subscription model.

I know what you mean! There’s so much emphasis on premium features these days. The question is, are they really worth it?

Definitely! You want to ensure the app you’re paying for delivers value. I’d love to see a comparison gallery that shows features side-by-side for both apps.
