# Planet Orbiter vs Whirlwind Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Whirlwind Evolution at 4.8 against Planet Orbiter's 3.8. Whirlwind Evolution also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 8). Planet Orbiter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whirlwind Evolution sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Planet Orbiter asks for nothing beyond the download.

Whirlwind Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whirlwind Evolution has 6.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Planet Orbiter's written reviews are positive against 75% of Whirlwind Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
