# Orbit vs Gravity Platform

The clearest difference is rating: Orbit at 4.8 against Gravity Platform's 4.3. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). Gravity Platform's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Orbit sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Gravity Platform 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 4.3. 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.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Gravity Platform every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
