# Type Run vs Orbital Bakery

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbital Bakery at 100% against Type Run's 21%. Orbital Bakery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Type Run's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Type Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Orbital Bakery sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
