Both are free to download. Patco Train Schedule sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. NexPass asks for nothing beyond the download.
NexPass holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NexPass has 1.8K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Patco Train Schedule's written reviews are positive against 19% of NexPass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Patco Train Schedule ships an update every 2 months, NexPass every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
