Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Orbital Tap at none against Clay Jam's shown. Orbital Tap also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Clay Jam's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clay Jam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Orbital Tap sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Orbital Tap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clay Jam has 2.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Clay Jam ships an update every 2 months, Orbital Tap every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
