What is the difference between Rail Europe and Trainline?

We found that Trainline is better than Omio and Rail Europe at finding cheaper train routes and also routes with fewer changes. It also saves money by offering routes on competing train operators not covered by Omio and Rail Europe. In some cases, Trainline's bus and bus/train combo options are worthwhile.
