# Orbit vs Orbit

The clearest difference is rating: Orbit at 4.8 against Orbit's 4.2. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 9). Orbit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Orbit sells 12 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 9, 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 91% of Orbit's.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Orbit weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
