Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Renfe at 4.6 against GuruWalk's 3.0. Renfe also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 38). GuruWalk's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 8%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Renfe holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Renfe has 3.5K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of GuruWalk's written reviews are positive against 8% of Renfe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GuruWalk ships an update fortnightly, Renfe every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
