Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Qorbit at none against Exponential Idle's shown. Exponential Idle's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 80) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Qorbit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Exponential Idle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Exponential Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exponential Idle has 4.1K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Qorbit's written reviews are positive against 92% of Exponential Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Qorbit ships an update every 2 weeks, Exponential Idle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
