Software prices, compatibility and features can change. Golf Gear Lab checks current provider information and recommends confirming compatibility with your exact launch monitor and computer/device before subscribing.

Compatibility before features

Software is only valuable if the connection is reliable and the features you care about are supported. Check both the launch-monitor maker and software provider before paying for a long subscription.

Calculate the complete cost

Add manufacturer memberships, third-party simulator fees and any computer upgrade. A “free” or bundled first year can make one platform cheaper initially but not over three years.
