# Studio Guide vs CallPlease

The clearest difference is rating: CallPlease at 5.0 against Studio Guide's 4.0. CallPlease also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). Studio Guide's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (67% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CallPlease holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Studio Guide's written reviews are positive against 36% of CallPlease's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Studio Guide ships an update every 11 months, CallPlease every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
