Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Toob Train at none against NYC Subway Log's 3. Toob Train also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). NYC Subway Log's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
