# Make A Pose vs CUSTOM CAST

The clearest difference is rating: Make A Pose at 4.0 against CUSTOM CAST's 3.4. Make A Pose also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 48%). CUSTOM CAST's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 495). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Make A Pose sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CUSTOM CAST sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Make A Pose holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CUSTOM CAST has 4K ratings behind it against 495, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Make A Pose's written reviews are positive against 48% of CUSTOM CAST's.

Make A Pose ships an update every 2 months, CUSTOM CAST monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
