# Bucked Up vs Casting Networks

The clearest difference is rating: Casting Networks at 4.6 against Bucked Up's 3.8. Casting Networks also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 66) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Bucked Up's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (48% vs 23%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Casting Networks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Bucked Up asks for nothing beyond the download.

Casting Networks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Casting Networks has 1.6K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Bucked Up's written reviews are positive against 23% of Casting Networks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bucked Up ships an update every 5 weeks, Casting Networks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
