Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rail Sheba at 3.6 against RABTA's 2.6. Rail Sheba also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (271 vs 13). RABTA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
