Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Train Sim Pro at 4.5 against Train mania's 3.0. Train Sim Pro also leads on ratings volume (162 vs 4). Train mania's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Sim Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Sim Pro has 162 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Train Sim Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Train mania's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
