Both are free to download. CastOn sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. AutomationBT asks for nothing beyond the download.
AutomationBT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CastOn has 5.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of AutomationBT's written reviews are positive against 36% of CastOn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AutomationBT ships an update every 3 months, CastOn every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
