Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Butlin’s Bognor Regis at 5.0 against Paultons Park's 4.7. Butlin’s Bognor Regis also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Paultons Park's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 49%) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Butlin’s Bognor Regis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paultons Park has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Butlin’s Bognor Regis's written reviews are positive against 65% of Paultons Park's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Butlin’s Bognor Regis ships an update every 3 weeks, Paultons Park every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
