Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Six Flags at 4.6 against Metrolink's 2.5. Six Flags also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (171K vs 371). Metrolink's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Six Flags holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Six Flags has 171K ratings behind it against 371, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Six Flags's written reviews are positive against 14% of Metrolink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Six Flags ships an update fortnightly, Metrolink every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
