# # Type vs Orbit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 100% against # Type's 56%. Orbit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). # Type's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. # Type sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Orbit asks for nothing beyond the download.
