# Aside Actor vs Prop Screen

The clearest difference is rating: Prop Screen at 4.5 against Aside Actor's 4.2. Prop Screen also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Aside Actor's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aside Actor sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Prop Screen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Prop Screen holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Aside Actor's written reviews are positive against 43% of Prop Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Aside Actor ships an update every 2 weeks, Prop Screen weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
