Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MetroMan China at 67% against 深圳地铁's 11%. MetroMan China also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.7) and ratings volume (2K vs 17). 深圳地铁's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
