# PoseBook 3D by Silver vs Save the Cat!

The clearest difference is rating: Save the Cat! at 4.7 against PoseBook 3D by Silver's 4.0. Save the Cat! also leads on ratings volume (472 vs 41). PoseBook 3D by Silver's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (57% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PoseBook 3D by Silver sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Save the Cat! sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Save the Cat! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Save the Cat! has 472 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of PoseBook 3D by Silver's written reviews are positive against 38% of Save the Cat!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PoseBook 3D by Silver ships an update weekly, Save the Cat! every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
