Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Lap Timer at 62% against RaceLive's 20%. GPS Lap Timer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). RaceLive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
