When you try to mirror them, you will just see a black screen on your TV, for example with Netflix and Disney+. This is a restriction chosen by Netflix and others, so we cannot fix it at the moment. If you like the app and our constant work on it, please give the app a positive rating on the App Store. Many thanks in advance from the development & support team.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring for Roku at 3.8 against Smart Projector Control's 2.7. Screen Mirroring for Roku also leads on ratings volume (69K vs 20) and device support (3 vs 1). Smart Projector Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring for Roku sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Smart Projector Control asks for nothing beyond the download.
Screen Mirroring for Roku holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring for Roku has 69K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Smart Projector Control's written reviews are positive against 59% of Screen Mirroring for Roku's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smart Projector Control ships an update every 5 months, Screen Mirroring for Roku every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
