Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shufflepuck at none against Bowling Pro's 9. Shufflepuck also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Bowling Pro's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
