Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rail Ninja at 4.8 against Finnair's 4.1. Rail Ninja also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Rail Ninja holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rail Ninja has 6.2K ratings behind it against 504, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Finnair's written reviews are positive against 32% of Rail Ninja's.
