Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaneTrax at 4.8 against BBs Viewer's 3.0. LaneTrax also leads on ratings volume (560 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). BBs Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
