# Orbit vs Ball Into

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against Ball Into's 50%. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 67) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Ball Into's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). 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 Ball Into sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. 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: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 67, 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 Ball Into's.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Ball Into fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
