The models you see in our ads? They are paid to look good. Chances are, most of us are just average Joes and Janes. Members: Because we’re not about unattainable standards. We’re about real models, having a real shot, and making real connections. Our extensive network does span from movie studios to high-end fashion brands, and we host exclusive events. But let’s be clear – it’s all about the connections, and let’s not pretend it’s an altruistic endeavor. Members community values – trust, respect, and privacy – are core to the members experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bakstage at 4.3 against Members's 3.5. Members's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bakstage holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Bakstage's written reviews are positive against 97% of Members's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bakstage ships an update fortnightly, Members every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
