# CastStream Hub vs Screen Share

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.

Both are free to download. CastStream Hub sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Screen Share asks for nothing beyond the download.

CastStream Hub holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Share has 988 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of CastStream Hub's written reviews are positive against 76% of Screen Share's.

CastStream Hub ships an update every 10 days, Screen Share every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
