# SAG vs Stageworks

The clearest difference is rating: Stageworks at 5.0 against SAG's 2.5. Stageworks also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SAG's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Stageworks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SAG has 60 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SAG ships an update every 4 months, Stageworks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
