Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DROP PLANETS at none against Orbit Path's 2. DROP PLANETS also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1). Orbit Path's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (83 vs 3). On price, review sentiment 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. Orbit Path sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. DROP PLANETS asks for nothing beyond the download.
DROP PLANETS holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit Path has 83 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Orbit Path's written reviews are positive against 67% of DROP PLANETS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
