# ResortPass vs Join a Join

The clearest difference is monetization model: Join a Join at free against ResortPass's free with in-app purchases. Join a Join also leads on device support (3 vs 1). ResortPass's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ResortPass against 5.0 for Join a Join. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResortPass has 29K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ResortPass ships an update weekly, Join a Join fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
