# Orbit vs Go Plane

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against Go Plane's 44%. Orbit also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Go Plane's advantage is ratings volume (73K vs 7.6K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Go Plane 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Plane has 73K ratings behind it against 7.6K, 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 44% of Go Plane's.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Go Plane every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
