Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Run on SubWay at 100% against Subway Simulator 3D's 26%. Run on SubWay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Subway Simulator 3D's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 3) and rating (3.9 vs 3.7). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Subway Simulator 3D sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Run on SubWay asks for nothing beyond the download.
Subway Simulator 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Simulator 3D has 5.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Subway Simulator 3D's written reviews are positive against 100% of Run on SubWay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
