Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
The Mevo+ is on sale at $1,099 (regular $2,299), and FlightScope says it is in its final sales phase. Its successor, the Mevo Gen2, is $1,299. That context matters more than anything in this comparison.
Room is the biggest practical difference. Both are radars that sit behind the ball. Garmin asks for about 14 ft indoors (8 ft to the net plus 6 ft behind the ball). FlightScope's own page gives two different indoor setups; using the more demanding one, the Mevo+ needs about 21 ft (13 ft of ball flight plus 8 ft behind the ball).
What you get for the extra money: the Mevo+ includes a 12-course E6 Connect license and works with iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows PCs. Indoors it needs metallic stickers or RCT balls for accurate spin (100 stickers come in the box; a roll of 1,000 is $45). The R10 works with a phone and Garmin's optional membership adds courses for $99.99 a year.
Our read: on published facts the R10 costs less, needs less room and is the maker's current model. If the Mevo+ appeals to you, look at the Mevo Gen2 first: for $200 more it is FlightScope's current model and needs less room. We haven't tested either unit; this is based on published specs.
