Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Best Bowling LT at 65% against BOWL.com's 16%. Best Bowling LT also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (167 vs 14). BOWL.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
