Both are free to download. Derby Demos sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Muse for Actors sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Derby Demos holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Muse for Actors has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Derby Demos's written reviews are positive against 43% of Muse for Actors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
