The Jan 2025 launch announcement phrased it as 'ownership of E6 Connect simulation software for both iOS and PC' with 12 courses. E6 PC requires i5/8GB/GTX-1070-class/Win10. (flightscope.com, 2026-09-14) | Free Full Swing app includes 'indoor virtual gameplay options... including simulations across 100+ courses and mini-games' (PlayBetter listing, 2026-09-14). The full first-party sim, Full Swing Golf for KIT (15 courses incl. Spyglass Hill and PGA TOUR stops), is sold only inside KIT Studio turnkey PC packages from $9,500 with its own subscription - it cannot be bought for a self-built PC. GSPro (Windows, ~$250/yr to GSPro) connects officially with no Full Swing subscription requirement noted on GSPro's device list. |
| Subscription | ||
| Subscription (per year) | None | $100/yr |
| Works without subscription | No ongoing subscription is stated anywhere on the official product page: all 50 data parameters, Face Impact Location ('included with the X3C by default'), the FS Golf app and the bundled 12-course E6 Connect license work without a subscription. (flightscope.com, 2026-09-14) | All 16 club and ball metrics, the built-in display, swing-video replay and third-party sim connection (GSPro) work with the free app - 'no data paywalled; app and camera free' and the official FAQ says the 16 metrics come with 'no unlock needed'. Premium ($99.99/yr) only adds historic data, unlimited video storage, improvement tracking/analysis and data sharing (PlayBetter review, updated 2025-06). |

These two track the ball differently: the FlightScope X3C is a radar-camera fusion unit, while the Full Swing KIT is Doppler-radar, per their recorded specs. What that difference means for spin, space, and indoor use is covered in our guide to radar vs camera launch monitors .
