Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: 서울버스 at free against RailNetwork's ad-supported. 서울버스 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). RailNetwork's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
