Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Twisty Rails at 4.7 against Train Simulator & Maker Games's 3.7. Twisty Rails also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 830). Train Simulator & Maker Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (52% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. Train Simulator & Maker Games sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Twisty Rails sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Twisty Rails holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisty Rails has 16K ratings behind it against 830, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Train Simulator & Maker Games's written reviews are positive against 33% of Twisty Rails's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Train Simulator & Maker Games ships an update every 5 months, Twisty Rails every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
