Upgame is a golf stats app from Trackman built around strokes gained, for players and coaches. GolfCore is a golf GPS with free yardages, green maps, modeled wind and a free Shot Tracer on iPhone. Which fits depends on whether you want strokes gained and coaching tools, or free scoring and stats inside the golf GPS you play with.
If strokes gained is what you are after, Upgame is built for it. If you want scoring and the core stats free, inside the GPS you already play with, GolfCore covers them.

Upgame Golf by Trackman is a stats app for players and coaches. You drop your shots onto the map after the round and it returns strokes gained insights, shot dispersion and benchmarks against your target level or tour standards. Its App Store listing prices Basic at $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year and Pro at $29.99 a month or $299.00 a year.
GolfCore keeps the scorecard in the map while you play. Each hole records putts, fairways and greens in regulation, and the round recap adds first-putt distance, sand saves, up and down and penalties, compared with your previous rounds across courses. Mark Shot pins each shot with its club and distance.
GolfCore does not calculate strokes gained. It is a golf GPS first, with free yardages, green maps and modeled wind in Premium, and a free Shot Tracer on iPhone.
