Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sun Valley Resort at 4.7 against Mountain Express's 4.0. Sun Valley Resort also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 4). Mountain Express's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
