# Snakebird vs Orixo

The clearest difference is rating: Orixo at 4.7 against Snakebird's 3.8. Orixo also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 65%) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 708). Snakebird's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 11.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snakebird sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Orixo sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orixo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orixo has 4.2K ratings behind it against 708, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Snakebird's written reviews are positive against 85% of Orixo's.
