Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Currency at 80% against AllSubway Universal's 33%. Currency also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.8 vs 4.0). AllSubway Universal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
