Verdict
Sesame Place and ParkZilla both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ParkZilla's written reviews are positive against 32% of Sesame Place's. ParkZilla also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sesame Place's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
