Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Othello at 4.5 against Orbito's 1.0. Othello also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 1). Orbito's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Othello sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Orbito sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Othello holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Othello has 8.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Othello's written reviews are positive against 0% of Orbito's.
Othello ships an update every 3 months, Orbito every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
