# Actors Access vs IMDbPro

The clearest difference is rating: IMDbPro at 4.6 against Actors Access's 2.6. IMDbPro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Actors Access's advantage is chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Actors Access sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. IMDbPro asks for nothing beyond the download.

IMDbPro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMDbPro has 2.7K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Actors Access's written reviews are positive against 20% of IMDbPro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Actors Access ships an update every 6 months, IMDbPro every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
