# Orbitum vs Golf Odyssey

The clearest difference is rating: Golf Odyssey at 4.7 against Orbitum's 2.9. Golf Odyssey also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 73). Orbitum's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbitum sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Golf Odyssey sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Golf Odyssey holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Odyssey has 4.4K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Orbitum's written reviews are positive against 65% of Golf Odyssey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Orbitum ships an update every 6 months, Golf Odyssey every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
