Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cyclometer at Free against LapTrak's $2.99. Cyclometer also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). LapTrak's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Cyclometer is free to download; LapTrak costs $2.99 up front. LapTrak sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Cyclometer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cyclometer holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LapTrak has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of LapTrak's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cyclometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LapTrak ships an update monthly, Cyclometer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
