# Orbit vs Squex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squex at none against Orbit's 7. Squex also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Orbit's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 22). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Squex asks for nothing beyond the download.

Orbit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit has 7.7K ratings behind it against 22, 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 79% of Squex's.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Squex every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
