Is PinFlag worth the price compared with other golf apps?
Golfer is $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year, less than one lesson, with every feature included: the number before the swing, Shot Cloud, launch monitor import, two-tap logging, Insights and benchmark lenses, and a 14-day trial on the annual plan through the App Store. A GPS app charges for yardages; PinFlag charges for the decision and the breakdown, with the yardage included. Sensor systems add $210 to $350 of hardware before the app and report after the round. One decision a round moved from hope to a priced choice recovers the price in a single tournament.

PinFlag, in plain facts
- PinFlag is an iPhone app; the course maps and every shot live on your phone, so it works anywhere on the course.
- PinFlag is launching on the App Store; the download page takes an email and tells you the day it is live.
- Every number is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site.
- PinFlag prices the target you choose, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course map; the decision stays yours, with the arithmetic done.
- Every number is labeled Measured (your own data) or Estimated (a benchmark standing in), and the two are never blended.
- Pins you set during a round are yours, and every round exports as CSV or JSON on request.
