FlightScope Mevo Gen 2 vs Mevo+: Which Should You Buy in 2026?
The Mevo+ is officially discontinued on clearance. The Gen 2 is $200 more with better hardware and the same upgrade path. Jay breaks down exactly what changed and what the right call is.
The Short Answer
Buy the Mevo Gen 2. The ~$200 price difference over clearance Mevo+ pricing is easily justified by the improvements you get — double the battery life, USB-C charging, portrait orientation for better indoor accuracy, and the same upgrade path to Pro Package and Face Impact Location. The Mevo+ is a great unit but it is discontinued and buying it means buying older hardware with a shorter support horizon.
The only scenario where the Mevo+ makes sense is if you find genuine clearance pricing significantly below the Gen 2 and budget is the absolute primary driver. At current typical clearance pricing of ~$1,099 vs the Gen 2 at $1,299, the $200 gap makes the Gen 2 the clear recommendation for almost everyone. Use code GSVMEVO on the Gen 2 to reduce the gap further.

The Real Decision: Hardware Improvements That Compound Over Time
The battery difference alone makes the Gen 2 worth $200 more for most golfers. A 6-hour battery means a full day of use — range session, sim rounds, and a lesson without worrying about charge level. The Mevo+ at 2-3 hours is limiting for longer sessions.
USB-C matters practically. The Mevo+ uses USB-Mini which is increasingly hard to find in a cable bag that has moved entirely to USB-C. Charging an older device with an adapter is a minor annoyance that adds up across hundreds of sessions.
Portrait orientation is the least-discussed improvement but arguably the most impactful for indoor use. The higher sight line gives the radar a better angle on short game shots — chipping and putting tracking is noticeably more consistent on the Gen 2 than the Mevo+ in tight indoor spaces.
And the support horizon matters. The Mevo+ is discontinued. FlightScope's firmware updates, app improvements, and new features will be developed for the Gen 2 going forward. Buying discontinued hardware is always a calculated risk on how long support will continue.
Gen 2 vs Mevo+ FAQ
Is the FlightScope Mevo+ still worth buying in 2026?
In specific circumstances — yes. If you find genuine deep-clearance pricing significantly below $1,099 and budget is your primary driver, the Mevo+ remains a capable unit with the same Fusion Tracking. But at typical 2026 clearance pricing of ~$1,099 versus the Gen 2 at $1,299, spending the extra $200 for double the battery, USB-C, and current hardware is the better decision for most golfers.
Do both units support the Pro Package and Face Impact Location?
Yes. The Pro Package and Face Impact Location upgrades are both compatible with the Mevo Gen 2 and the Mevo+. This is actually one of FlightScope's better decisions — they opened the Gen 2 to these upgrades that were previously only available on the Mevo+, making the Gen 2 a true replacement rather than a downgrade. If you are planning to add either upgrade, both units support them identically.
Does the Mevo Gen 2 come with fewer E6 courses than the Mevo+?
Yes — the Gen 2 includes 8 E6 Connect courses at lifetime ownership versus 12 on the Mevo+. This is the one area where the Mevo+ has a slight edge on the base package. In practice the difference is minor — additional E6 courses can be purchased, and most simulator-focused buyers are using GSPro or TGC 2019 rather than E6 as their primary platform. It is worth noting but not a reason to choose the Mevo+ over the Gen 2.
Is there a discount code for the FlightScope Mevo Gen 2?
Yes. Use code GSVMEVO at the official FlightScope store for a saving on the Mevo Gen 2, Pro Package, and bundles. Use Jay's direct link to apply it automatically. See the full discount code page for details.
How does the Gen 2 compare to the Mevo+ for indoor simulator use?
The Gen 2 is better indoors for two reasons: the portrait orientation gives a higher sight line that improves chipping and putting tracking, and the 6-hour battery means you can run full simulator sessions without monitoring charge level. The Mevo+ works well indoors with proper setup but the shorter battery and landscape orientation are genuine limitations compared to the Gen 2 in a dedicated indoor setup.
The Gen 2 is the right call for almost everyone. Use code GSVMEVO to save — or email Jay if you are still deciding.
