# Filmic Firstlight vs Script Pilot

The clearest difference is rating: Script Pilot at 5.0 against Filmic Firstlight's 4.5. Script Pilot also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Filmic Firstlight's advantage is ratings volume (919 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filmic Firstlight sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Script Pilot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Script Pilot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filmic Firstlight has 919 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Filmic Firstlight ships an update every 2 months, Script Pilot every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
