Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elevator Sounds & Ride at none against Subway Simulator 2D's 2. Elevator Sounds & Ride also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Subway Simulator 2D's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
