Wedge vs Golfshot

Golfshot and Wedge are built for different golfers. Golfshot's own facts page says it prioritizes automatic tracking and performance analytics over social feeds and betting games. Wedge is built around the group: money games, settling up, golf trips and a feed of your friends' rounds. Both post scores to GHIN hole by hole.

• Choose Golfshot to improve your own game: Auto Shot Tracking on the watch, Strokes Gained, Swing ID and front, center and back distances on 47,000+ courses.
• Choose Wedge to run your group's game: Nassau with automatic presses, one net amount per pair of players at the end, and multi-day events with buy-ins and a Ryder Cup.

• Automatic shot tracking. Golfshot's Auto Shot Tracking uses the watch's motion sensors to capture each shot with no tags or buttons (Pro). In Wedge you place each shot yourself by tapping the GPS course map where it landed.
• Analytics. Pro adds Auto Strokes Gained off the tee, on approach, around the green and putting, Swing ID and club recommendations from your shot history. Wedge has no Strokes Gained.
• GPS detail. Golfshot lists 47,000+ courses, 3D flyovers, hazard and target distances and green maps. Wedge has GPS course maps but no green slope maps.
• Android and Wear OS. Golfshot runs on Android phones and Wear OS watches as well as iPhone and Apple Watch. Wedge is iPhone and Apple Watch only.
• Instruction and tee times. The Champions plan adds a library of 350+ instruction videos, and Golfshot books GolfNow tee times in the app.
• Organized events. Golfshot's App Store listing describes an exclusive Golf Genius tournament integration, so if your club runs its events on Golf Genius you can score them in Golfshot.

• Presses. Wedge scores Nassau with presses any player can add and automatic presses at a trigger of 1 to 4 holes down. We found no presses in Golfshot's listing or website. See how a Nassau works.
• Settling up. Wedge works out who owes whom when the match ends, netting every bet and press into one amount per pair of players.
• Your own trip. You can set up a Wedge tournament yourself: several days, a buy-in, two teams, a Ryder Cup across singles, four-ball and alternate shot, a Classic stroke-play leaderboard and side games such as Skins and Stableford. Golfshot's tournament feature joins events run on Golf Genius.
• A feed of your group. Friends see each other's full hole-by-hole scorecards and live match results, with likes and comments.
• Guests. Players without the app can be added to a match and scored for.
• Price. Wedge Pass is $29.99 a year. Golfshot Pro is $79.99 a year, although Golfshot's free plan scores rounds at no cost.

Golfshot is free to download and score with. Golfshot Pro costs $79.99 a year, $14.99 a month or $5.99 a week, with a 7-day free trial. Champions costs $99.99 a year and adds the instruction library and range features.

Golfshot's own pages differ on which plan includes GHIN posting and the betting games. Its facts page says GHIN posting is on the free tier, while its Get Pro page lists GHIN posting and Skins, Nassau and Match Play under Pro. Check the app before you rely on either.

Wedge is free to download. Playing rounds, money games, matches and tournaments needs Wedge Pass at $29.99 a year, and new subscribers get a 3-month free trial. History, stats and the feed stay available without a pass.

A golfer who wants Golfshot's swing and Strokes Gained data and also plays a weekly money game can use each app for what it does best. Pick one app to post each round to GHIN, so the same score is not posted twice.
