Buy the SkyTrak+ if you're building a dedicated indoor simulator and want the most accurate spin data and widest software compatibility under $2,500. Buy the FlightScope Mevo+ if you split time between the range and your sim, want E6 Connect included out of the box, and prefer saving $600 with no required subscription. Both are excellent sim-ready monitors — the SkyTrak+ edges it on accuracy, the Mevo+ edges it on value. Your setup and budget decide.

Accuracy Results
We set up both the SkyTrak+ and Mevo+ (sometimes called the Mevo Gen 2) side by side at an outdoor range and hit 150 shots with the same 6-iron and Pro V1. Every number below is cross-referenced against a TrackMan Pro sitting between them.
| Metric | TrackMan (True) | SkyTrak+ | FlightScope Mevo+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ball Speed | 138.2 mph | 137.8 (-0.3%) | 136.9 (-0.9%) |
| Launch Angle | 16.4° | 16.3° (-0.6%) | 16.7° (+1.8%) |
| Carry Distance | 178 yds | 177 yds (-0.6%) | 175 yds (-1.7%) |
| Spin Rate | 6,840 rpm | 6,790 rpm (-0.7%) | 6,510 rpm (-4.8%) |
| Club Speed | 101.4 mph | 101.1 mph (-0.3%) | 100.2 mph (-1.2%) |
Both units stay within 2% of TrackMan on ball speed, launch angle, and carry — solid all around. The SkyTrak+ is tighter on every metric, staying under 1% across the board. The real separator is spin rate. The SkyTrak+'s cameras photograph the ball at impact and nail spin to within 0.7% of TrackMan. The Mevo+'s radar estimates spin from flight data and drifts by nearly 5% — a gap that matters when you're dialing in wedge distances or doing a club fitting.
Indoor & Simulator Use
This is where the SkyTrak+ pulls ahead decisively. As a photometric (camera-based) system, the SkyTrak+ reads the ball at impact — it doesn't need to track ball flight. That means it works perfectly in any indoor space regardless of how close your impact screen is. Tight garage sim? No problem.
The FlightScope Mevo+ uses Doppler radar, which needs at least 8 feet behind the ball to establish a tracking window. In a standard basement or garage sim build, this can be a real constraint. You may need to compromise ball position or rearrange your space to accommodate the radar's requirements.
For simulator software, the SkyTrak+ has the widest ecosystem: native support for E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and GSPro — the three most popular sim platforms. The Mevo+ includes E6 Connect out of the box (a genuine value add), but GSPro support requires third-party connectors that can be unreliable.
Outdoor Performance
Outdoors, the Mevo+ has the advantage. Doppler radar handles all lighting conditions without issue — bright sun, overcast, dusk, it doesn't matter. The compact puck design (carried over from the original Mevo) is easy to throw in a bag and sets up in 90 seconds.
The SkyTrak+ works well outdoors but has a caveat: in direct sunlight, you'll need a diffuser accessory to prevent the camera system from being overwhelmed by ambient light. It's also a larger unit that requires a level surface, making it slightly less convenient for range sessions.

The SkyTrak+ wins on software breadth — it natively supports more sim platforms than any other monitor in this price range. The Mevo+ wins on out-of-box value by including E6 Connect, which typically costs $300+ separately. If E6 is your platform, the Mevo+ gives you everything you need without additional purchases. If you want the flexibility to try GSPro, TGC, or switch platforms later, the SkyTrak+ keeps your options open.
