# Subway vs MetroLand

The clearest difference is rating: MetroLand at 4.8 against Subway's 4.1. MetroLand also leads on ratings volume (236 vs 42). Subway's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and MetroLand sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MetroLand holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MetroLand has 236 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Subway's written reviews are positive against 72% of MetroLand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subway ships an update every 10 days, MetroLand every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
