# Paint vs Orb

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orb at none against Paint's 4. Paint's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paint sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Orb asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Paint against 4.0 for Orb. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paint has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
