Laser Panic is free to download; Orbital Invaders costs $0.99 up front. Laser Panic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Orbital Invaders asks for nothing beyond the download.
Orbital Invaders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbital Invaders has 38 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Orbital Invaders's written reviews are positive against 70% of Laser Panic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Orbital Invaders ships an update every 3 weeks, Laser Panic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
