Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BowlerHub at 100% against BowlTV's 3%. BowlerHub also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). BowlTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (65 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
