Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lanetalk Bowling at Free against BowlSheet®'s $29.99. Lanetalk Bowling also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 172) and chart position (#72 vs unranked). BowlSheet®'s advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
