Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FairwaySwing at 5.0 against Bracket App's 4.2. FairwaySwing also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Bracket App's advantage is ratings volume (167 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bracket App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and FairwaySwing sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FairwaySwing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bracket App has 167 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
