# Orbit vs The Average game

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Orbit at 94% against The Average game's 67%. Orbit also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 5) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). 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 The Average game 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: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 5, 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 67% of The Average game's.
