# Orbit vs Lock Rush

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lock Rush at none against Orbit's 7. Lock Rush also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Orbit's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Lock Rush holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbit has 7.6K ratings behind it against 8, 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 100% of Lock Rush's.

Orbit ships an update every 2 months, Lock Rush every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
