# FilmTouch™ vs Casting Networks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FilmTouch™ at 76% against Casting Networks's 23%. FilmTouch™ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Casting Networks's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Casting Networks is free to download; FilmTouch™ costs $9.99 up front. Casting Networks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. FilmTouch™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Casting Networks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Casting Networks has 1.6K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of FilmTouch™'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.

FilmTouch™ ships an update every 7 months, Casting Networks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
