# Actor App by Casting Workbook vs Source & Cast

The clearest difference is rating: Source & Cast at 4.7 against Actor App by Casting Workbook's 3.4. Source & Cast also leads on ratings volume (711 vs 28). Actor App by Casting Workbook's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 38%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Actor App by Casting Workbook sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Source & Cast sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Source & Cast holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Source & Cast has 711 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Actor App by Casting Workbook's written reviews are positive against 38% of Source & Cast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
