Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Orbit CME at 5.0 against AbeoCoder's 2.2. Orbit CME also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). AbeoCoder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
