# Pomocat vs Orbis

The clearest difference is ads: Orbis at none against Pomocat's shown. Pomocat's advantage is ratings volume (482 vs 7) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pomocat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Orbis sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pomocat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pomocat has 482 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Pomocat's written reviews are positive against 100% of Orbis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pomocat ships an update every 3 weeks, Orbis every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
