Both are free to download. iDrone sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Model Railroad Set sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Model Railroad Set holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Model Railroad Set has 73 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of iDrone's written reviews are positive against 11% of Model Railroad Set's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iDrone ships an update monthly, Model Railroad Set every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
