Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SnapDeploy at every 5 days against Railway's fortnightly. SnapDeploy also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). Railway's advantage is chart position (#55 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
