Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MetroWorld at none against Train Sim's 5. MetroWorld also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Train Sim's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
