Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MTB Project at free against Snowbird Resort's free with in-app purchases. MTB Project also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 117). Snowbird Resort's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MTB Project holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MTB Project has 4.4K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of MTB Project's written reviews are positive against 56% of Snowbird Resort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MTB Project ships an update every 5 weeks, Snowbird Resort every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
