Line-by-Line Prices, Three Builds and 3-Year Totals](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/posts/how-much-does-a-golf-simulator-cost/) - [Best Launch Monitors for Home Use in 2026, by What You'll Actually Do With It](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/posts/best-launch-monitors-for-home/) The launch monitor reads the ball; the software decides where it lands. For a home simulator that means course play, and it’s where most of the ongoing cost sits. You can play on the maker’s own app, or on a third-party simulator such as GSPro, E6 or Awesome Golf. Each has a different price, runs on different hardware and works with a different list of monitors, and several monitors make you pay the maker a yearly fee before third-party software will even connect. This guide lays out the options at US prices on November 12, 2026. Software prices change and sales come and go, so check the maker’s page before you subscribe. We haven’t tested these platforms ourselves; where we quote a reviewer, we name them. Golf simulator software and plans at a glance US prices on the makers' sites, Nov 2026. Many are on holiday sale. | Software / plan | Price | Runs on | Works with | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GSPro | $250/yr | Windows PC (RTX 3060-class GPU for 1080p) | Garmin R10/R50, MLM2PRO/XPRO, Mevo Gen2, Full Swing KIT, Uneekor, Bushnell, Foresight (not SkyTrak, not SC4 PRO) | | E6 Connect (iOS) | $250–300/yr basic, $600/yr expanded | iPad/iPhone; E6 Golf 2026 is PC-only ($240–450/yr on sale) | Most monitors; several include a few free courses | | Awesome Golf | $159.99/yr or $349.99 lifetime | iOS, Android, PC, Mac | Garmin, FlightScope, Rapsodo (Core), Bushnell/Foresight (Gold), Uneekor EYE MINI | | Garmin Home Tee Hero | $99.99/yr | Phone/tablet (R10) or on the R50's screen | Garmin R10, R50 | | Rapsodo Core / Studios | $199.99 / $399.99 per yr | Mobile and Windows PC | MLM2PRO, MLM2XPRO | | SkyTrak Core: Foresight | $299.99/yr | Windows, Mac (M1+), iPad (M1+), Android | SkyTrak+, ST MAX | | Foresight+ Silver + Course Pass | $199 + $295 per yr (Gold $599 for third-party) | Windows PC (Foresight Premier) | Bushnell Launch Pro, LPi, Foresight GC3 | | Uneekor Pro | $199/yr (Pro+ $299 incl. GSPro) | Windows PC | EYE MINI CORE, EYE MINI LITE | Details and sources in [golf simulator software compared](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/posts/golf-simulator-software-compared/). ## GSPro [GSPro](https://gsprogolf.com/) is the simulator most home builders end up on. It costs $250 a year; the old lifetime license has been discontinued. It runs on Windows 10 or 11 only, so there’s no iPad or Mac version. Supported monitors include Uneekor (EYE MINI, MINI LITE and others), FlightScope (Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and the X-series), Foresight (GC3 and others), Bushnell Launch Pro, Full Swing KIT, Garmin R10 and R50, and Rapsodo MLM2PRO, among others. SkyTrak is not supported. Prerequisites matter as much as the license: - **Uneekor:** the Pro membership ($199/yr), or Pro+ at $299/yr, which includes a year of GSPro. - **Rapsodo:** an active paid plan (Core, $199.99/yr). On the MLM2XPRO, club data doesn’t pass through to GSPro. - **Bushnell and Foresight:** Foresight+ Gold at $599/yr. Foresight’s own wording: Gold members are eligible to buy GSPro, with a separate GSPro subscription required. - **FlightScope Mevo Gen2 and Full Swing KIT:** no maker plan; you pay only for GSPro. Breaking Eighty puts the all-in GSPro bill at about $449 a year with Uneekor against about $849 a year with Foresight or Bushnell. PC needs: GSPro lists an RTX 3060-class card with 16 GB of RAM as the minimum for 1080p, an RTX 3060 Ti or 3070 as great for 1080p, and an RTX 3080 or better with 32 GB for 4K. If you don’t already own a gaming PC, that’s a real part of the budget. ## E6: E6 Golf 2026 and E6 CONNECT TruGolf’s E6 now exists in two forms, and it’s easy to mix them up. E6 Golf 2026 is the current PC platform. It’s Windows-only and asks for more than GSPro: at least a 10th-gen Intel i7, 24 GB of RAM and an RTX 3060 with 12 GB. On sale it’s $240/yr for Core (regular $300) and $450/yr for Pro (regular $600). E6 CONNECT is the legacy app, still live on Apple’s App Store. It runs on an iPad, which is enough for E6 CONNECT but not for E6 Golf 2026. In-app pricing depends on your monitor: for Garmin and FlightScope, a 12-month Basic package is $300 and Expanded is $600; Rapsodo’s 12-month Basic is $250. Some monitors include E6 courses. The [Mevo Gen2](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/flightscope-mevo-gen2/) comes with 8 lifetime E6 CONNECT courses, with a 12-course bundle for $250 one-time. The [SC4 PRO](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/voice-caddie-sc4-pro/) includes 5. ## Awesome Golf [Awesome Golf](https://www.awesome-golf.com/pricing/) is the budget and multi-platform choice: $14.99 a month, $159.99 a year or $349.99 for a lifetime license, with a 14-day trial. Its Black Friday offer runs to December 3, 2026: $119.99 for the first year or $299.99 lifetime. It runs on iOS, Android, PC, Mac and ChromeOS, so a tablet and a projector are enough. It supports Garmin, FlightScope, Bushnell, Foresight (with Foresight+ Gold), Rapsodo (with a paid plan), Square and Uneekor EYE MINI. On our list that means the R10, R50, Mevo Gen2, MLM2PRO, MLM2XPRO, Launch Pro and GC3. Awesome Golf names the Uneekor EYE MINI, but Uneekor’s own third-party list for the EYE MINI CORE and LITE doesn’t include it, so confirm before relying on it. We found no Awesome Golf support for the Full Swing KIT or SkyTrak. ## The makers’ own software Every brand has its own app, and for some monitors it’s the only option. ### Garmin Golf: Home Tee Hero R10 and R50 owners get Home Tee Hero with a Garmin Golf membership at $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year, covering 43,000+ courses. Breaking Eighty reported in August 2026 that Home Tee Hero added 15 “Enhanced Courses,” including Augusta, Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass, at no extra cost. On the R10 it runs on a phone or tablet; on the [R50](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/garmin-approach-r50/) it runs on the unit’s own 10-inch screen with HDMI out, putting and up to four players. The R10 doesn’t putt in virtual rounds: Garmin adds 0–3 strokes based on your approach. ### Rapsodo: Core and Studios The [MLM2PRO](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/rapsodo-mlm2pro/) and [MLM2XPRO](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/rapsodo-mlm2xpro/) have a free tier that’s practice only. Core ($199.99/yr) unlocks spin, club data, 30,000+ courses and third-party links. Studios ($399.99/yr) adds 4K courses on PC, and Breaking Eighty cites roughly an RTX 5080 for those. Plans are billed yearly. Breaking Eighty calls the membership “all but essential.” ### SkyTrak: Essential, Core and Elite SkyTrak, owned by GOLFTEC, runs its own app on Windows, Mac (M1+), iPad (M1+) and Android. Essential is $99.99/yr with no courses. Core: Foresight is $299.99/yr for 51 courses, Core: Trackman $349.99/yr for 53, and Elite $599.99/yr for 100+. With official third-party support gone for new buyers, the [SkyTrak+](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/skytrak-plus/) and [ST MAX](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/skytrak-st-max/) are effectively tied to these plans. The ST MAX listing includes the first year of Core: Foresight. ### Foresight+ and Foresight Premier Bushnell and Foresight moved to Foresight+ in September 2026. Free shows basic ball data, Silver ($199/yr) adds club data on Bushnell devices, and Gold ($599/yr) adds third-party integrations. Courses are separate: Course Pass $295/yr (35 courses) or Course Pass Pro $595/yr (111), which need Silver or Gold. Foresight Premier runs on a Windows gaming PC. PlayBetter reports FSX Play and FSX Pro are no longer sold for purchases from September 18, 2026, though existing licenses keep working. A [Launch Pro](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/bushnell-launch-pro/) owner’s cheapest course route is Silver plus Course Pass, about $494 a year. ### Uneekor: Refine and the membership tiers The [EYE MINI CORE](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/uneekor-eye-mini-core/) and [EYE MINI LITE](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/uneekor-eye-mini-lite/) need a Windows PC on Ethernet. The free Player tier gives you the VIEW driving range. Pro ($199/yr) adds third-party software and Refine with 5 courses; Pro+ ($299/yr) adds a year of GSPro; higher tiers run from Champion ($399) to Ultimate+ ($699). Uneekor recommends an i7 12th-gen, 32 GB of RAM and an RTX 4070 Ti, with an RTX 3060 12 GB as the minimum. ### Full Swing and FlightScope The [Full Swing KIT](https://homegolfsimulatorguide.com/launch-monitors/full-swing-kit/) shows all 16 metrics in its free app and connects to GSPro and E6 CONNECT with no Full Swing plan. Full Swing GOLF for KIT is $499/yr and comes with its Studio PC packages. The Mevo Gen2 has no subscription at all: the FS Golf app, putting and 8 E6 courses are included. ## PC or iPad? | Software | Windows PC | Mac | iPad / iPhone | Android | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GSPro | Yes (only) | No | No | No | | E6 Golf 2026 | Yes (only) | No | No | No | | E6 CONNECT (legacy) | Yes, for some monitors | Not listed | Yes | Not listed | | Awesome Golf | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Garmin Home Tee Hero | Not listed | Not listed | Yes (R10); on the R50’s own screen | Yes (R10) | | Rapsodo Core / Studios | Yes (Studios 4K on PC) | Not listed | Yes | Yes | | SkyTrak app | Yes | Yes (M1+) | Yes (M1+) | Yes | | Foresight Premier | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | | Uneekor Refine / VIEW | Yes (only) | No | No | No | If you plan to use GSPro or E6 Golf 2026, price a gaming PC into the build.

The chart adds each monitor’s Amazon price to three years of its cheapest course plan (a free first year counts where the listing includes one). Three-year cost: hardware + course plan Amazon price on Nov 12, 2026 plus three years of the cheapest plan that unlocks simulated courses (a first year included in the box counts as free).

They suit different setups. GSPro costs $250 a year, runs only on Windows 10/11 and supports a long list of monitors. E6 Golf 2026 is also Windows-only, at $240/yr (Core, sale) to $450/yr (Pro, sale), while the older E6 CONNECT app still runs on an iPad. If you have a gaming PC and a supported monitor, GSPro is the common choice; without a PC, E6 CONNECT or Awesome Golf are the options. ### Does SkyTrak work with GSPro? Not officially. GSPro lists SkyTrak as unsupported, and Breaking Eighty and PlayBetter report that SkyTrak has dropped official third-party support for new buyers. New SkyTrak owners use SkyTrak's own app and plans, from Essential at $99.99/yr to Elite at $599.99/yr. ### What PC do I need for GSPro? GSPro lists a GTX/RTX 3060 and 16 GB of RAM as the minimum for 1080p, an RTX 3060 Ti or 3070 as great for 1080p, and an RTX 3080 or better with 32 GB of RAM for 4K. It runs on Windows 10 or 11 only. ### Can I run golf simulator software on an iPad? Yes, with some software. Awesome Golf runs on iOS and Android, the legacy E6 CONNECT app runs on iOS, and the Garmin, Rapsodo, SkyTrak and FlightScope apps all run on tablets. GSPro, E6 Golf 2026 and Uneekor's software need a Windows PC. ### What is the cheapest golf simulator software? The Mevo Gen2's included 8 lifetime E6 CONNECT courses cost nothing extra. Among paid plans, Garmin's Home Tee Hero is $99.99/yr for R10 and R50 owners, and Awesome Golf is $159.99/yr or $349.99 for a lifetime license (Black Friday pricing to Dec 3, 2026: $119.99 first year, $299.99 lifetime). ## Sources - [GSPro: pricing, system requirements and supported devices](https://gsprogolf.com/) · checked 2026-11-12 — $250/yr, lifetime discontinued, Windows 10/11 only; supported launch monitor list; minimum GTX/RTX 3060 and 16 GB RAM for 1080p. - [E6 Golf (TruGolf)](https://e6golf.com/) · checked 2026-11-12 — E6 Golf 2026 is Windows-only (i7 10th gen, 24 GB RAM, RTX 3060 12 GB minimum); Core $240/yr on sale (regular $300), Pro $450/yr on sale (regular $600). - [Apple App Store: E6 CONNECT](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/e6-connect/id1360027026) · checked 2026-11-12 — Legacy iOS app still live; Garmin/FlightScope Basic 12 months $300, Expanded $600; Rapsodo 12-month Basic $250. - [Awesome Golf: pricing](https://www.awesome-golf.com/pricing/) · checked 2026-11-12 — $14.99/mo, $159.99/yr or $349.99 lifetime; Black Friday to Dec 3, 2026; runs on iOS, Android, PC, Mac and ChromeOS. - [Garmin: Garmin Golf membership](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/850633) · checked 2026-11-12 — $9.99/month or $99.99/year; Home Tee Hero with 43,000+ courses for the R10 and R50. - [Rapsodo: Golf memberships](https://rapsodo.com/pages/rapsodo-golf-memberships) · checked 2026-11-12 — Free (practice), Core $199.99/yr, Studios $399.99/yr with 4K courses on PC; billed yearly. - [Foresight Sports: Foresight+ plans](https://plus.foresightsports.com/) · checked 2026-11-12 — Free, Silver $199/yr, Gold $599/yr for third-party integrations; Course Pass $295/yr and Course Pass Pro $595/yr; GSPro needs Gold plus a separate GSPro subscription. - [Uneekor: Software and memberships](https://uneekor.com/en-us/discover/software-and-memberships) · checked 2026-11-12 — Player free; Pro $199/yr adds third-party software and Refine (5 courses); Pro+ $299/yr adds a year of GSPro; tiers up to Ultimate+ at $699. ## Get new guides by e-mail One short e-mail when Home Golf Simulator Guide publishes a new guide.
