The call

The clearest difference is price: Kloot Arena at Free against Train Bandit's $0.99. Kloot Arena also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Train Bandit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
