# Plasma Orb vs TENKYU

The clearest difference is ads: Plasma Orb at none against TENKYU's shown. Plasma Orb also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). TENKYU's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (255K vs 12). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plasma Orb sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and TENKYU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TENKYU holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENKYU has 255K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Plasma Orb's written reviews are positive against 59% of TENKYU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Plasma Orb ships an update every 5 weeks, TENKYU monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
