# Orbit vs Pathi

The clearest difference is update cadence: Orbit at weekly against Pathi's every 2 months. Orbit also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 71%). Pathi's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Pathi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Orbit against 4.6 for Pathi. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pathi has 1.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Orbit's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pathi's.

Orbit ships an update weekly, Pathi every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
