Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bowling Battle at none against Bowling Pro's 9. Bowling Battle also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Bowling Pro's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
