Comparison

Square Golf Omni vs EYE MINI Lite

Short answer

The Square Golf Omni is $400 cheaper at list ($100 while the EYE MINI Lite's $1,699 sale lasts), runs from an iPad, phone or PC, and fits a room 4 to 6 ft shallower. The EYE MINI Lite is a wired indoor rig: it needs a Windows PC at Uneekor's spec, Uneekor Pro at $199 a year for courses or GSPro, and by Uneekor's guidance a 10 ft ceiling.

At today's prices the Square Golf Omni is $100 less, with a price drop on the EYE MINI Lite at $1,699 (Carl's Place).

By buyer

Which one for you

Room under 18 ft deep
Square Golf Omni. Square publishes no ball-to-screen distance, so it fits about 14 ft of room on our room planner; Uneekor's 10 to 12 ft from ball to screen puts the MINI Lite at 18 to 20 ft, in a room at least 13 ft wide.
Ceiling between 9 and 10 ft
Square Golf Omni, for a golfer under 5'10". Uneekor's guidance asks 10 ft for the MINI Lite; the Omni leaves it to the swing, 9.5 ft under 5'10" (9 ft with a flat swing) by Shop Indoor Golf's table. A taller golfer needs 10 ft or more on either.
Dedicated indoor room with a Windows PC at Uneekor's spec
Uneekor EYE MINI Lite. A wired, permanent install on Uneekor's mature software, and the entry point if you might step up to an EYE XR or EYE XO2. Budget Uneekor Pro at $199 a year for courses or GSPro.
iPad or phone household, or no PC to buy
Square Golf Omni. Its own app runs on iOS, Android and Windows. The MINI Lite needs a Windows PC over Ethernet; buying one at Uneekor's spec (our RTX 5070 Ti tower is $2,399.99) takes the five-year gap to about $2,800 for the range alone.
Plan to play GSPro
Square Golf Omni. On GSPro's list with no Square fee, and it runs on our RTX 5060 tower; the MINI Lite adds Uneekor Pro at $199 a year and the bigger PC, about $2,400 more over five years.
Want to use it outdoors too
Square Golf Omni. It runs on a battery indoors or out; the MINI Lite is indoor-only on wall power.

Bottom line

The longer answer

Both are photometric units that sit on the floor beside the ball and measure spin directly, and both switch between right- and left-handed players by moving the unit. The Square Golf Omni is $1,599: four cameras, a built-in display and a battery, indoors or outdoors, with its own app on Windows, iOS and Android over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The Uneekor EYE MINI Lite lists at $1,999: two high-speed cameras, indoor only, on wall power, and wired by Ethernet to a Windows 11 PC it can't run without (Uneekor says only the EYE MINI runs standalone or from an iPad). Uneekor and every retailer we track have had the MINI Lite at $1,699 since November 2, 2026, which cuts the gap to $100 while it lasts; the totals below use list. The Omni is on pre-order or backorder at the dealers we track as of November 1, 2026. We know of no independent head-to-head of the two that we would cite, so we don't rank them on accuracy. What decides it is the room, the computer and the software.

The room first. Uneekor's room guidance, the only figure it publishes that covers this unit, asks for a 10 ft ceiling, and our room planner holds the MINI Lite to it. The Omni adds no ceiling figure of its own, so the swing sets it: Shop Indoor Golf's height table asks 9.5 ft of a golfer under 5'10" (9 ft with a flat swing), 10 ft from 5'10" to 6'2" and 10.5 ft above that. In a 9 to 9.5 ft room the Omni can work for a shorter golfer where Uneekor's own figure rules the MINI Lite out; from 10 ft up, height stops separating them. Depth separates them more. Uneekor puts the MINI Lite's ball at least 10 ft from the screen (12 recommended) and asks for a room at least 13 ft wide, which our room planner turns into 18 to 20 ft of depth. Square publishes no ball-to-screen distance or room width for the Omni, so the ball can come as close to the screen as your swing allows: about 14 ft of room at the least. Under a 9 ft ceiling, neither is the answer.

Then the computer. Uneekor recommends an RTX 4070 Ti with 32GB for its software (its bare minimum is an RTX 3060 Ti), so a mini PC doesn't qualify; the tower we pair with Uneekor software is the Skytech King 95 with an RTX 5070 Ti, $2,399.99, a step above that recommendation. The Omni's own app needs no PC at all; an iPad or phone you already own will do.

The software bills differ too. Uneekor's free Player tier covers the range with full ball and club data but no courses. Courses start at Uneekor Pro, $199 a year for Refine's 5 courses (Champion, $399, has Refine+'s 20), and Pro is also the gate to third-party software: GSPro and E6 Connect both sit behind it on the MINI Lite. The Omni's app plays courses on pay-per-hole credits, 1,000 included (about 55 rounds), then about 2 to 3 cents a hole, and GSPro (which lists the Omni) and E6 Connect run on it with no Square fee. GSPro's own $250 a year applies to both.

Over five years at list, the gap depends on what you already own. For the range on hardware you have, it is the $400 sticker gap. With courses at a round a week for one player, the Omni comes to about $1,680 on its credits and the MINI Lite $2,994 on Uneekor Pro, about $1,300 apart. Buy the MINI Lite its King 95 and the gap is about $2,800 for the range and about $3,700 with Pro. On GSPro both sides need a Windows PC, but not the same one: the Omni runs GSPro comfortably on our $1,399.99 RTX 5060 tower, while the MINI Lite stays on the RTX 5070 Ti tower, because GSPro reaches it through Uneekor's own launcher on the machine that also runs Uneekor's software. With five years of GSPro on both and Uneekor Pro on the MINI Lite, that is $4,248.99 against $6,643.99, about $2,400 apart. The MINI Lite's sale takes $300 off every Uneekor figure while it lasts.

Buy the MINI Lite for a dedicated room with the ceiling and depth Uneekor asks for and a Windows PC at its spec, especially if you might step up to an EYE XR or EYE XO2 later and want to stay on Uneekor's software. Buy the Omni for a shorter or lower room, a household that would rather run the sim from an iPad or phone, or a GSPro build that shouldn't carry a launch-monitor fee. Square's software is younger, and the Omni has little track record yet.

Better for Square Golf Omni

  • Recreational Player

    Polished indoor experience without a subscription — course play runs on per-hole credits, 1,000 of them included. Easy to live with long-term.

  • Family Setup

    Plays right- and left-handed, though Square says the unit may need to be repositioned when players switch hands. No subscription or per-profile fee: course play is a credit per player per hole, and third-party software carries no Square charge.

  • Space-Constrained

    No radar ball-flight requirement, and Square publishes no ball-to-screen distance, so the ball can come as close to the screen as your swing allows: about 14 ft of room at the least on our room planner (retailers say 10), and 18 ft with the ball 10 ft out.
