August Update: Unlimited Plus, Smarter Tools & AI Industry Check-In
Over the last month, we’ve welcomed hundreds of new users — and more importantly, helped our community land hundreds of auditions combined.
From a new premium plan to smarter media tools, faster submissions, and a cleaner interface — here’s a quick look at what’s new 👇
Quick Note Before We Share Our Updates
We’ve spent the summer thinking deeply about the biggest problems in entertainment. We’ve also been speaking to agents, casting directors, and industry veterans to better understand where the industry is headed and most importantly - how we can help actors like you stay ahead.
To better understand your perspective, we're running a quick industry check-in and we’d love to hear from you.
Where do you see the industry going with AI ? What do you need most to grow? What tools would actually help you as an artist ?

🎯 Unlimited Plus — A New Pricing Plan for Serious Performers
We continue to pack as much value as possible into our $12/month Unlimited plan. But some of you wanted more.
Unlimited Plus is our new premium tier, built for performers who want the absolute best from CastMeNow. Smarter matching, instant submissions, and deeper personalization — all designed to give serious artists an extra edge.
⚙️ Performance Settings - Exclusive to Unlimited Plus
Advanced settings that let you optimize and personalize every submission — giving you a sharper edge in a competitive market.
AI Matching Engine
| Tier | Capability |
|---|---|
| Premium (Unlimited Plus) | Advanced AI that reads your full profile, preferences, and filters deeply — prioritizing selective, high-quality roles. |
| Basic (Unlimited) | Efficient AI that matches you broadly to many roles — fast and personalized, but less selective. |
Application Speed
| Tier | Speed |
|---|---|
| Fast (Unlimited Plus) | Instant submissions to best-fit roles the moment they drop — with a dedicated priority queue. |
| Regular (Unlimited) | Applies every 30 minutes to one best-fit role per platform using the shared queue. |
🖼️ Smart Headshot Selection (Unlimited Plus Only)
This one was highly requested — and we’ve made it live.
Your applications now automatically use the most relevant cover headshot across platforms, depending on the role’s tone, genre, and character type.
It’s been free for the past two weeks… now fully rolled into Unlimited Plus.
📝 Rename Your Headshots and Media
You can now edit names for your headshots and media — giving our system better signals to pick the right media, and helping you personalize submissions even further.
✍️ Submission Rules — Fully Redone
We’ve rebuilt the Submission Rules section from scratch with a slicker, more intuitive interface. You’ll find it faster, clearer, and more powerful than ever.
💪 Faster Infrastructure, Better Reliability
We’ve upgraded our submission engine to ensure more consistent, stable submissions. This includes:
- ⚙️ Stability fixes
- ⚙️ Better fallback behavior
- ⚙️ A new default AI matching engine that balances precision and broad reach (now default for Unlimited users).
🤝 Find A Rep — Now Even Smoother
We’ve added:
- ⚡ Instant outreach mode — skips personalization for a faster workflow.
- 🔍 Improved AI Search — search for agent names, genres, keywords, and more with better accuracy.
Once again, a quick reminder to fill out our industry survey! If you’re an actor with perspectives on where the industry is heading, how AI is best poised to shape the landscape, and what tools you actually need — we’d love to hear from you.
