Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BowlForm at free with in-app purchases against LaneTrax's subscription. BowlForm also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%). LaneTrax's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
