# StarNow Audition Finder vs Upwork

The clearest difference is ads: StarNow Audition Finder at none against Upwork's shown. StarNow Audition Finder also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 30%). Upwork's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 761) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StarNow Audition Finder sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Upwork sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $27.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for StarNow Audition Finder against 4.6 for Upwork. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Upwork has 72K ratings behind it against 761, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of StarNow Audition Finder's written reviews are positive against 30% of Upwork's.

StarNow Audition Finder ships an update weekly, Upwork fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
