Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lane Swim at none against Swimlytics's 2. Lane Swim also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Swimlytics's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
