# Casting Networks vs ScriptReadr

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScriptReadr at 100% against Casting Networks's 22%. ScriptReadr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Casting Networks's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 5) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Casting Networks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month and ScriptReadr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptReadr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Casting Networks has 1.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
