Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Rail World! at Free against Spinning Apple's $4.99. Rail World! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). Spinning Apple's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
