E6 Connect vs Awesome Golf: which should you choose?
E6 tends to appeal to golfers looking for a conventional virtual-course simulator ecosystem, while Awesome Golf is particularly strong for practice, challenges and accessible family play. Your launch monitor and device can decide the choice before features do.
Quick answer
Choose Awesome Golf when flexible devices, practice and games are the priority. Consider E6 when your launch monitor has a strong supported/bundled E6 route and traditional course simulation matters more.

Family versus course-first use
If the simulator will be shared, software that makes short challenges and games easy to start may get more use than a platform chosen purely for course count. If realistic rounds are the main purpose, assess the exact courses and licence available to your launch monitor.
