Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Club Laps at none against LapTrophy's 2. Club Laps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). LapTrophy's advantage is ratings volume (271 vs 17) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
