Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LaneTrax at 65% against BOWL.com's 16%. LaneTrax also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (560 vs 9). BOWL.com's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
