Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Terrania at Free against Mini Metro's $3.99. Terrania also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). Mini Metro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
