Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Train Analysis Tool at free against Tableau Mobile's freemium. Train Analysis Tool also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Tableau Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
