Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ghost Train Kit at none against BRIO World's 9. Ghost Train Kit also leads on price ($0.99 vs $6.99) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). BRIO World's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BRIO World holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BRIO World has 1.4K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of BRIO World's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ghost Train Kit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BRIO World ships an update monthly, Ghost Train Kit every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
