Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tether Orbit at Free against Blast Point's $1.99. Tether Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Blast Point's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
