FAQ
What does a home golf simulator cost over five years?
It depends mostly on subscriptions. A launch monitor with no required plan costs the same in year five as on day one, while a $199.99/yr plan adds about $1,000 over five years and GSPro adds $1,250 at $250/yr. Enter your parts to see 1, 3 and 5-year totals.
Is a lifetime plan cheaper than annual?
Rapsodo lists MLM2PRO Premium at $199.99 a year or $599.99 lifetime: three annual payments total $599.97, so lifetime only saves money from year four. Awesome Golf lists $159.99 a year or $349.99 lifetime, so lifetime is cheaper once you pass three years ($479.97 annual).
