Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AirBreak at 4.2 against PuttLab's 1.0. AirBreak also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). PuttLab's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
