App Comparison
ParPath vs. The Rest
Most golf apps give you GPS and a scorecard. ParPath gives you a hole-by-hole game plan to actually lower your scores — then backs it up with GPS, live scoring, and stats. See how we compare.
18Birdies
Robust features behind an aggressive paywall. Free tier keeps shrinking. No per-hole course strategy despite AI caddie marketing.

Free tier only shows center-of-green distance. Two confusing premium tiers. Watch–phone connection issues reported.
