Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Orbit Path at Free against Earth Impact's $0.99. Orbit Path also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 10.0). Earth Impact's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Earth Impact holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth Impact has 2K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Orbit Path's written reviews are positive against 47% of Earth Impact's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Orbit Path ships an update every 9 months, Earth Impact monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
