Verdict
OrcasPartner and AUC both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of OrcasPartner's written reviews are positive against 0% of AUC's. AUC's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AUC holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AUC has 48 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of OrcasPartner's written reviews are positive against 0% of AUC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OrcasPartner ships an update every 4 weeks, AUC every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 5, 2026.
