By popular demand, the official Stage iOS app is here! Rehearse at 2 a.m. Send the self-tape by 9. Build the website you keep putting off. Log the audition, the class, the booking, the receipt. The Stage puts an actor's whole working life in one app, so the hours stop disappearing into everything around the work. REHEARSE WHENEVER YOU WANT No reader tonight? Cue reads every other role and listens for yours. Take the pause; it waits and comes in when you do. It never counts down. Pick the voice: your device's built-in voice, a lifelike performance from a curated cast, or a friend. Send them a link, they record their lines once from any phone with no account needed, and their voice reads opposite you from then on. LEARN THE LINES, KEEP THE NOTES Import your sides. Mark beats, breath, intention and direction right on the page. Drill a section at a time: your line hides, you say it from memory, it moves on when you have it. Every note stays with the scene through rehearsal, Cue and every take. SELF-TAPE WITHOUT THE SETUP Open the scene, press record, and Cue reads while you act. Keep every take. Put Take 7 next to Take 9 and watch them side by side, synced to the beat. Trim, reframe, add the slate you forgot to the front, lift the room hum off without touching the voice, and send a public link from the same screen. A WEBSITE IN ONE SITTING Go live at your own URL today. Open with a cinematic intro, then arrange headshots, reel, scenes, credits, resume, reps and a contact button for the actor you are: film, theater, voice, or all three. PACKAGES BUILT FOR THE PERSON READING THEM Pitch an agency, a manager or a casting office with exactly the headshots, scenes, reel, resume and intro they should see. One clean link. See when it's opened. Swap in a stronger scene tomorrow without the link changing. ONE CALENDAR, CALL SHEETS INCLUDED Type it the way you'd say it: "Film class 2pm tomorrow @ TAG." Auditions, rehearsals, classes and performances in one place. A four-show run entered once and grouped under the production. Syncs with Google Calendar so nothing else has to change. THE CAREER, RUN LIKE ONE Auditions, callbacks and bookings on a visual funnel, so you see your rates at a glance. Contacts and reps with the history of every conversation. Receipts and mileage logged as they happen, and a P&L ready before tax season. Three resumes that update together. Goals and to-dos kept against the role. A STAGE THAT LOOKS LIKE YOURS Pick your own colors and look. Pin the lines you learned in class to your home screen. Build a vision board from your own images and goals, and log every booking on a Wins timeline so the yeses stay visible. Included: 50 GB of cloud storage, synced across your devices. HUMAN FIRST The Stage was never built to replace the people who make you better. Your coach is still your coach. Your teacher is still your teacher. The best reader is a real person, which is why you can send a friend a link. The few places we use AI are the smallest parts of the app, and they exist to close one gap: the self-tape due tomorrow with no one free tonight. We don't clone your voice. We don't generate performances. Because acting is one workflow. Your tools should be too. Welcome to The Stage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Class at none against The Stage's 4. The Stage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
