# Basketball Orbit vs Jetpack Jump

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Basketball Orbit at 58% against Jetpack Jump's 28%. Basketball Orbit also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Jetpack Jump's advantage is ratings volume (85K vs 4K).

Both are free to download. Basketball Orbit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Jetpack Jump sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
