Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glider Frequency at none against GPS Lap Timer's 3. Glider Frequency also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). GPS Lap Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
