The clearest difference is update cadence: Bowmasters at fortnightly against Hit Master 3D's every 5 weeks. Bowmasters also leads on ratings volume (1.9M vs 190K) and chart position (#40 vs #148). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bowmasters sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Hit Master 3D sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
