Verdict
Square and OrbisX both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of OrbisX's written reviews are positive against 25% of Square's. OrbisX also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). Square's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 34) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
