# Orb Master vs All Star Random Defense

The clearest difference is review sentiment: All Star Random Defense at 61% against Orb Master's 33%. Orb Master's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 49). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orb Master sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and All Star Random Defense sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orb Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orb Master has 1.5K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Orb Master's written reviews are positive against 61% of All Star Random Defense's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Orb Master ships an update monthly, All Star Random Defense every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
