* Account and subscription are required for more than 3 games per start and/or more than 1 start per day. * Ad is shown after each completed game and to add a new game. The strength of the concept is when you use it as a service for more than scorekeeping. The goal of the app and the service is that it does not matter what ball you use, in which lane in a center you bowl in or what oil pattern (lane conditioner) is on the lane - all data will be found in the app and if something (league, tournament) is missing you can submit it as one/many picture(s) and we will add the missing data. If a ball or oil pattern is missing you can enter name and link to details and it will also be added. It can sound hard and complicated (but our goal is that it should be easy). With all that kind of data, you should be able to get more features and statistics than other apps and that is thanks to statistics in browser (available in future). In the app you can get much statistics, but in the browser you can get statistics from all your devices in one place and compare different kind of statistics over time or one month year-by-year. Later on features like sharing data with your trainer (to get better help and track the changes), team or friends be available (if interest occours). Thanks to the cloud, the opportunities are endless so don't miss the chance to start your journey with BowlAssistant already today!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pinalytics at none against BowlAssistant's shown. Pinalytics also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). BowlAssistant's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
