Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Skipper Lake at 5.0 against Bowling Pro's 4.4. Skipper Lake also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Bowling Pro's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
