Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kitcast at 5.0 against ScreenCloud Player's 2.6. Kitcast also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). ScreenCloud Player's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
