# Simply Patterns vs Orbeat

The clearest difference is rating: Orbeat at 5.0 against Simply Patterns's 2.0. Orbeat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simply Patterns sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Orbeat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orbeat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbeat has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
