Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CastOutlook at 100% against BowlTV's 3%. CastOutlook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). BowlTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (66 vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
