# Orbit vs Gravity Sandbox 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against Gravity Sandbox 2's 50%. Orbit also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (7.6K vs 3). Gravity Sandbox 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Gravity Sandbox 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Orbit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Orbit's written reviews are positive against 50% of Gravity Sandbox 2's.
