Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SenSim at none against Train Simulator's 14. SenSim also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Train Simulator's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 37). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Simulator has 5.3K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of SenSim's written reviews are positive against 64% of Train Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
