Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Train Maker at none against SortSort's 1. Train Maker also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). SortSort's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
