# Why Orbit is different?

[**Orbit**](https://orbitdefi.finance/) differentiates itself from its competitors, aiming to become the **most used automation layer** on top of concentrated liquidity protocols and the **go-to platform to deploy concentrated liquidity**.

*   **Orbit vs&#x20;**_**LPing on Uniswap**_**:** Uni v3 is excellent, but several aspects can be improved and automated.

    * 10–15% of liquidity is positioned out-of-range. The [Idle Liquidity](main-features/idle-liquidity) feature solves this problem by moving your idle liquidity to Aave.
    * 25–30% of positions are not earning fees. [Autocompunding ](main-features/autocompound)and [Autorebalancing ](main-features/autorebalance)options are not provided, lowering potential returns.


*   **Orbit vs&#x20;**_**Arrakis (ex G-UNI)**_**:**

    * Orbit is **strategy and token-agnostic,** meaning that we don’t choose the ranges; instead, the user does. Also, Orbit works for **any tokens pair and range**, allowing users to apply automation and strategies to their LPs.


*   **Orbit vs&#x20;**_**Instadapp**_**:**&#x20;

    * Orbit is focused on **LP management** and allows users to automate positions over time.
    * Our modules, such as the [Idle Liquidity](main-features/idle-liquidity) one, enable users to earn fees on idle liquidity.


* **Orbit vs&#x20;**_**Gamma/Popsicle/Harvest**_**:**
  * Orbit is not a liquidity manager but an automation tool. By using Orbit, it's possible to replicate, with 0 fees, the most used strategies by active managers. For instance, _Popsicle_ strategies can be easily replicated by the [Autorebalance ](main-features/autorebalance)module, and _Harvest finance_ strategies by the [Autocompound ](main-features/autocompound)module.
  * We decided to steer away from active liquidity management as we saw that such solutions hadn't found significant traction or good performance over time.
