GSPro vs E6 Connect

The two most common choices for third-party simulator software. In short: GSPro for depth and course variety on a Windows PC, E6 for polish and iPad support.

My verdict

If you have a Windows gaming PC, I'd choose GSPro: $250 a year, 2,500+ community courses and deep control over conditions. Carl's Place makes the fair counterpoint that E6's curated courses are consistently high quality, while GSPro's community courses vary.

If you don't want a PC, E6 is the realistic choice because it runs on iOS, and several launch monitors include some E6 courses (the Garmin R10 and Swing Caddie SC4 PRO with five, the Mevo Gen2 with an eight-course bundle).

Questions people ask

Is GSPro better than E6?

For most PC-based home builds, I think so: more courses, deeper customization and a lower yearly price. E6 has more curated courses and runs on iOS, which matters if you don't want a gaming PC.

Can I use E6 on an iPad?

Yes. TruGolf says E6 is available for PC and iOS. GSPro is Windows only.
