# CastAssist vs Screen Mirroring

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CastAssist at 100% against Screen Mirroring's 55%. CastAssist also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Screen Mirroring's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CastAssist asks for nothing beyond the download.

CastAssist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 19K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of CastAssist's written reviews are positive against 55% of Screen Mirroring's.
