# SBB Mobile vs SWISS

The clearest difference is rating: SWISS at 4.7 against SBB Mobile's 3.8. SWISS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 67). SBB Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 49%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SWISS holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SWISS has 11K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of SBB Mobile's written reviews are positive against 49% of SWISS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SBB Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, SWISS fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
