# A Swing Monkey vs Orbia

The clearest difference is rating: Orbia at 4.8 against A Swing Monkey's 3.5. Orbia also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 46%) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 8). A Swing Monkey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 9.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A Swing Monkey sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Orbia sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orbia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbia has 2.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of A Swing Monkey's written reviews are positive against 87% of Orbia's.
