Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShinkansenView at 100% against Pak Railway's 7%. ShinkansenView also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 24 months). Pak Railway's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
