Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amtrak at 4.7 against CivicMobile Demo's 1.0. Amtrak also leads on ratings volume (223K vs 3) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). CivicMobile Demo's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
