score70 vs Squabbit
Squabbit is a free app for golf trips, tournaments and leagues, with “no ads or player limits”.[1]
It rated 4.89 stars from 1,161 ratings on the UK App Store and 4.9 on Google Play when we checked.[1][2][3]
Of the apps here it is the closest to score70 in spirit. The main differences are the app itself, and what each does for UK handicaps and mixed groups.
The short answer
Who each one suits
Squabbit suits you if…
- Your group is happy for everyone to install an app.
- You want an in-app group chat and a field map.
- Your trip wants alternate-shot formats today.
score70 suits you if…
- Some of the group will not install anything: a link is all they need.
- You want WHS course handicaps from UK slope and course ratings, with the working shown.
- Your society plays mixed groups, men and women on different tees in the same four-ball.
- The course has no signal on half the holes.

Side by side
score70 and Squabbit, feature by feature
| score70 | Squabbit |
|---|---|
| Do players need the app? | |
| No. Players open the link in the browser their phone already has. | It is app-centred. The organiser can add and carry players who do not have the app installed.[1] |
| Do players need an account? | |
| No. Each player taps their name once. Only the organiser has an account. | Not stated in its description, which says the organiser can add players whether or not they have the app installed.[1] |
| Cost for a 12 to 40 player day | |
| Free. No plans, no player cap, no card. Nothing is held back for a paid tier, because there is no paid tier. | Free. Host Pro is an annual subscription; we could not confirm its price.[1] |

| Formats | |
| 24 formats, including Bowmaker, Irish Rumble, Russian Stableford, Texas scramble with minimum drives, 1-2-3, Vegas and a Ryder Cup board. No foursomes or greensomes yet. | More than 30, including Ryder Cup, alternate shot and shamble.[1] |
| Handicaps | |
| World Handicap System course handicaps from each tee’s slope and course rating, with the allowance for each format shown. | A USGA handicap calculation.[1] |
| Posts scores to an official handicap record | |
| No. score70 works out the handicaps for the day but does not post scores to England Golf or any other body. | Not mentioned in its description. One reviewer asks for it: “Needs MyEG integration for handicap data” (App Store, August 2026).[1][4] |
| Scoring with no signal | |
| Yes. Scores are saved on the phone first and send themselves when signal comes back. | Not documented on the pages we read |
| Courses | |
| More than 1,800 UK courses, over 1,500 of them with WHS course and slope ratings already in. Anywhere else, you type the card in once. | Not documented on the pages we read |
| Men and women on different tees in one group | |
| Yes. Each player plays their own tee in the same group, with women’s par, stroke index and ratings where the club rates them. | Not documented on the pages we read |
| Season or league table | |
| Yes, free: a season table on a best-of rule, weekly pairs or teams, and fixed league handicaps if you want them. | Yes, leagues.[1] |
| GPS, stats, watch | |
| No GPS, no shot tracking and no watch app. It is a scorecard and a leaderboard. | A field map in the app.[1] |

Plainly
What score70 does not do
- No GPS, distances, shot tracking or watch app.
- No official score posting: rounds do not go to England Golf or your WHS record.
- No nearest-the-pin or longest-drive markers yet, no TV board yet.
- No foursomes or greensomes yet.
- Fewer courses than the big apps: more than 1,800 UK courses, with the card typed in for anywhere else.
- No social feed, by design, and no push notifications.
What it does do, it does without asking anything of the players: one link, a tap on their name, and they are scoring.
Free, and nothing for the players to install
Try it on your next round
Make the organiser account, add the players and the course, and send one link to the group. Everyone else just taps their name.
