# Happy vs Railway

The clearest difference is rating: Happy at 4.9 against Railway's 4.0. Happy also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Railway's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Railway asks for nothing beyond the download.

Happy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy has 1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Happy's written reviews are positive against 69% of Railway's.

Happy ships an update weekly, Railway fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
