# Orbits™ vs Balance The Wheel

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balance The Wheel at none against Orbits™'s 2. Balance The Wheel also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Orbits™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 73 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbits™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Balance The Wheel asks for nothing beyond the download.

Orbits™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbits™ has 122 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Orbits™'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Balance The Wheel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Orbits™ ships an update every 2 months, Balance The Wheel every 73 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
