# Orbit Path vs Earth Impact

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.

Orbit Path is free to download; Earth Impact costs $0.99 up front. Orbit Path sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Earth Impact asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
