Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NinjAwesome at Free against Train Bandit's $0.99. NinjAwesome also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 138). Train Bandit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
