Screen Search is a big and small screen fast search app. Ever sat watching a movie or TV show and thought: what's their name?, what else were they in? etc. If so, then this app is for you, and best of all - it's free. Support for many languages. The actor page shows you their movie and tv credits, grouped by year (ascending or descending) , which can also be filtered. Everything is on demand so it wont use up your mobile data allowance unnecessarily. Small and large device compatible. Ad free. Note: This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Screen Search at every 3 weeks against Cineaste App's every 6 weeks. Screen Search also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
