Both deliver impressive data and simulation performance—just in very different ways. Let’s break down how they compare in real-world use.
Price & Value
SkyTrak+: Higher retail, requires annual subscription
Mevo+: Often on sale, no subscription required
SkyTrak+ is priced at $2,495. Mevo+ comes in at $2,299 but is frequently discounted below that. Over time, Mevo+ may save you money by avoiding ongoing fees.

- Mevo+ has optional one-time upgrades like Pro Package and Face Impact Location
If you’re looking to get started without locking into a subscription, Mevo+ offers more flexibility. SkyTrak+ gives you a cleaner indoor experience out of the box.
Tracking Technology
SkyTrak+: Photometric + radar hybrid for indoor accuracy
Mevo+: Radar-based with Fusion Tracking for open space performance
SkyTrak+ uses both cameras and radar to analyze ball flight and club movement. It’s built for tight indoor spaces. Mevo+ uses 3D Doppler radar enhanced with machine learning—ideal for outdoor or large garage use.
Bottom line: SkyTrak+ shines in small spaces. Mevo+ thrives in larger or open-air environments.
Ball & Club Data
SkyTrak+: Full club and ball data included with no extras
Mevo+: Core data included, advanced club data requires upgrades
SkyTrak+ delivers over 20 data points out of the box, including advanced club metrics like path, face angle, and dynamic loft—with no need for stickers or extra add-ons.
Mevo+ includes solid ball data by default. Unlocking advanced club data requires the Pro Package ($1,000) and optionally Face Impact Location ($499).
Indoor vs Outdoor Use
SkyTrak+: Built for tight indoor rooms and smaller enclosures
Mevo+: Performs best outdoors or in longer garages/bays
SkyTrak+ sits beside the ball and thrives with just a few feet of ball flight. Mevo+ needs at least 8' behind the ball and 8' in front to track properly. It shines when you have space or want to practice at the range.
Simulation Software
SkyTrak+: Uses SkyTrak Play as its primary platform
Mevo+: Supports multiple third-party simulation tools
SkyTrak+ is increasingly centered on SkyTrak Play, their in-house simulation software. It provides a polished, unified experience but limits external integrations.
Mevo+ is built to play well with others. It supports E6 Connect, GSPro, TGC 2019, and Awesome Golf. iOS users get 10 free E6 courses and 17 driving ranges with no subscription.
Setup & Portability
SkyTrak+: Stationary unit ideal for permanent sim setups
Mevo+: Lightweight radar with carry case for mobile use
SkyTrak+ weighs 3 lbs and stays next to the ball. It’s great for dedicated rooms. Mevo+ weighs just 1 lb and sits behind the ball—it’s made for golfers on the go and includes a protective case for transport.
Connectivity & Compatibility
SkyTrak+: Works with iOS, Android, and PC using Wi-Fi
Mevo+: Also supports iOS, Android, and PC with wide compatibility
Both devices connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi and are compatible across platforms. SkyTrak+ integrates tightly with its app and SkyTrak Play. Mevo+ gives you more freedom to connect with third-party tools.
Subscription Costs
SkyTrak+: Requires $249.95/year Course Subscription
Mevo+: No subscriptions—just optional upgrades
SkyTrak+ unlocks simulation and skill modes through its yearly plan. Mevo+ requires no subscription at all. If you want Pro-level club data or impact visualization, they’re available as one-time upgrades.
Final Verdict
SkyTrak+: Best for polished indoor use with full club data included
Mevo+: Best for portability, flexible sim software, and long-term value
If you’re focused on indoor sim use with minimal upgrades, SkyTrak+ is plug-and-play. If you want to grow into your setup or bring it on the go, Mevo+ offers unmatched flexibility at this price point.
