Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plane Troubles at none against Subway Train Simulator's 3. Subway Train Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 32 months) and review sentiment (84% vs 69%). On price, rating, ads 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 Train Simulator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Plane Troubles asks for nothing beyond the download.
Plane Troubles holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Train Simulator has 245 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Plane Troubles's written reviews are positive against 84% of Subway Train Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Plane Troubles ships an update every 32 months, Subway Train Simulator every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
