# Open vs actLive

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: actLive at none against Open's 2. actLive also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 17.0). Open's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 11) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. actLive asks for nothing beyond the download.

Open holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open has 18K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Open's written reviews are positive against 75% of actLive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Open ships an update weekly, actLive every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
