Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planet simulation at none against Orbito's 2. Planet simulation also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Orbito's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
