Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Screen Share at none against CastStream Hub's 12. Screen Share also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (988 vs 8). CastStream Hub's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
