What ActOnCue does better
Entry price. Free includes three rehearsal hours and the $10 plan includes $15 of usage. For light use, it is considerably cheaper.
Configuration and coaching. Voices, performance instructions, audio references, teleprompter and Script Assistant give more control to actors who tune every scene.
Dedicated iOS app. Reader, teleprompter and camera live together in a native mobile experience.
What La Réplique does better

Casting tracking. Several named links can point to the same take, with open time and watch progress for each link.
Multilingual use. Five localized interfaces and voices suited to European languages.
The browser is enough. Rehearsal and recording work in the same web product on a compatible computer or phone.
