# Orbix vs Colony Master

Orbix and Colony Master both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Orbix's written reviews are positive against 6% of Colony Master's. Colony Master's advantage is ratings volume (427 vs 15). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbix sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Colony Master sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Orbix against 4.5 for Colony Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colony Master has 427 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Orbix's written reviews are positive against 6% of Colony Master's.
