Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lane Timer at none against Swimlytics's 2. Lane Timer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Swimlytics's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
