Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Actor's Pocket Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swipecast has 308 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Swipecast's written reviews are positive against 75% of Actor's Pocket Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Swipecast ships an update every 2 weeks, Actor's Pocket Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
