# Orbit vs Supernova

The clearest difference is ads: Supernova at none against Orbit's shown. Supernova also leads on device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Supernova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
