Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Only One at Free against Train Bandit's $0.99. Only One also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Train Bandit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
