# Alpha Omega vs Actorle

Alpha Omega and Actorle both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 39% of Actorle's. Alpha Omega also leads on ratings volume (5.7K vs 119) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 16.4). Actorle's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Actorle sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alpha Omega holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 39% of Actorle's.

Alpha Omega ships an update monthly, Actorle fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
