Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Jay Peak at every 3 weeks against Brighton Resort's every 4 months. Jay Peak also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (74% vs 61%). Brighton Resort's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 236). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brighton Resort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brighton Resort has 1.4K ratings behind it against 236, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Brighton Resort's written reviews are positive against 74% of Jay Peak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brighton Resort ships an update every 4 months, Jay Peak every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
