Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Prague Metro at free with in-app purchases against Railstream's subscription. Prague Metro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Railstream's advantage is ratings volume (128 vs 23) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
