ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Casting Networks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Casting Networks has 1.6K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Script Rehearser's written reviews are positive against 22% of Casting Networks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Script Rehearser ships an update every 2 weeks, Casting Networks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
