A side-by-side look at price, accuracy, space, subscription and software to help you pick between the Garmin Approach R10 and the Swing Caddie SC4.

Garmin Approach R10

$550
Entry ★★★★☆ 4.2

The default entry point. Cheap, portable, works indoors and at the range, and doesn't force a subscription. Accuracy is good-not-great, but unbeatable for the money.

Swing Caddie SC4

$600
Entry ★★★★☆ 4.1

A pocketable radar for quick practice numbers at the range. Not a sim unit — no course play — but dead simple and subscription-free.
