Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Train Tracker at 2.4 against Railway Radar's 1.4. Train Tracker also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 9) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Railway Radar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Train Tracker holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Train Tracker's written reviews are positive against 27% of Railway Radar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Train Tracker ships an update every 7 months, Railway Radar every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
