How does Layne compare to ActorStats?
Layne syncs Gmail, agent emails, and five casting platforms, and goes back through an actor's past history rather than starting from today. ActorStats describes its own sync this way: “ActorStats reads your EcoCast page on Actors Access (your audition-request table) and turns that history into the numbers that matter.” Pricing differs too: Layne's report is a one-time purchase, while ActorStats says of itself, “Free, always.”
What does ActorStats do well?
ActorStats says of itself: “Yes, ActorStats is free to use. Tracking, sync, your statuses, and analytics are all included. No paywall, no trial clock.” It also says: “ActorStats reads your EcoCast page on Actors Access (your audition-request table) and turns that history into the numbers that matter.” And it states plainly that it asks for no casting-site password: “Works inside your own Actors Access login — we never ask for your password.”
Does ActorStats work with platforms besides Actors Access?
For automatic sync, no. ActorStats' own site says: “Your EcoCast page on Actors Access, the table of audition requests, read automatically by the extension. That's the one page it reads.” For everything else, it says: “You can also drop in PDF audition notices, and add anything from another platform manually in a few seconds.”
