Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Idle Train 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Train 3D has 463 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Toy Train 3D's written reviews are positive against 53% of Idle Train 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Toy Train 3D ships an update every 6 weeks, Idle Train 3D every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
