# ScenePartner vs Actor Desk

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Actor Desk at 100% against ScenePartner's 33%. Actor Desk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). ScenePartner's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScenePartner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Actor Desk sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Actor Desk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScenePartner has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ScenePartner ships an update fortnightly, Actor Desk every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
