Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Butlin’s Minehead at 56% against Bluestone's 7%. Butlin’s Minehead also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Bluestone's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
