# Sporcle vs Actorle

The clearest difference is rating: Sporcle at 4.7 against Actorle's 4.4. Sporcle also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 119) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). Actorle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sporcle sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Actorle sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sporcle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sporcle has 4.1K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Sporcle's written reviews are positive against 39% of Actorle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sporcle ships an update monthly, Actorle fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
