Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NOL World at 60% against KORAIL+'s 11%. NOL World also leads on rating (3.8 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (128 vs 11). KORAIL+'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
