# Train Sim Pro vs Crash Yard

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.

Crash Yard is free to download; Train Sim Pro costs $7.99 up front. Train Sim Pro sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Crash Yard sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crash Yard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Sim Pro has 162 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Train Sim Pro ships an update every 2 months, Crash Yard every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
