Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Railcard holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Railcard has 7.3K ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Send My Bag App's written reviews are positive against 44% of Railcard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Send My Bag App ships an update every 5 weeks, Railcard monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
