Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Best Bowling LT at none against BowlForm's 1. Best Bowling LT also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). BowlForm's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
