3 Ski apps in one. 1. Digital resort map for all 160+ resorts as standard 2. Ski fitness tracker with all day tracking as standard. 3. Friend Locator - see friends and family on the map as standard. The maps We try and find a half way point between paper maps and digital maps, our vector based maps give the familiar look of a paper piste map but won't get soggy! Where we differ from paper maps, is that ours are 'to scale' enabling you to plan your Off-Piste cut throughs and detours, or simply work out if you an reach a lift. But nearly everything you find on the resort map will be on our map. The ski tracker We’ve optimised our tracker to offer an excellent balance between stats collection and battery life, after all there's no point logging half your day! Piste knows the run you're on, the lift you're waiting at and the record time you’ve just achieved. Daily summaries are then available with a timeline and map of your adventure. Private groups Create and customise your very own ski group and invite friends or join others. Everyone in the group can see each other on the map, so you no longer need to worry if you take a wrong turn! Various tools like rendezvous points and push notifications can be used to meet back up throughout the day. Location sharing The location sharer not only shares your location, it shares what you are doing, queuing for a lift or stopped half way down a piste? No worries, your whole group can see - along with the name of the run/lift you are near. It is completely private and only visible to your group. Premium Features We are proud to offer the best of Piste for free with no annoying pop ups or dark patterns. For those with larger groups we also offer extended service, with affordably priced weekly or yearly subscription options. This unlocks the creation of large groups of up to 20 members, the joining of multiple ski groups and 3D Piste maps and exporting of data.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Piste at weekly against RollKit's monthly. Piste also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
