Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Orbit at free with in-app purchases against Tiny Invoice's subscription. Orbit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 3). Tiny Invoice's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 34) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tiny Invoice sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Orbit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tiny Invoice holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Invoice has 10K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Tiny Invoice's written reviews are positive against 64% of Orbit's.
Tiny Invoice ships an update every 2 weeks, Orbit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
