# CastReady vs Counterpart

The clearest difference is ads: Counterpart at none against CastReady's shown. Counterpart also leads on ratings volume (101 vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). CastReady's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CastReady sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Counterpart sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CastReady holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Counterpart has 101 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CastReady ships an update every 3 weeks, Counterpart every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
