Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Crash Yard at Free against Train Sim Pro's $7.99. Crash Yard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Train Sim Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (162 vs 1). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
