Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ORB Participant at 3.1 against Driving Tests 101's 2.6. ORB Participant also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 89 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ORB Participant holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ORB Participant has 66 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Driving Tests 101's written reviews are positive against 32% of ORB Participant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Driving Tests 101 ships an update every 89 months, ORB Participant every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
