# Orthanc vs Legacy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Legacy at 95% against Orthanc's 50%. Legacy also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Orthanc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Legacy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Orthanc asks for nothing beyond the download.
