# Orbit vs Planetary Atlas

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Planetary Atlas at 15.0 against Orbit's 26.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Planetary Atlas sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
