# HTTPBot vs Screen Mirroring

The clearest difference is update cadence: HTTPBot at every 2 weeks against Screen Mirroring's every 3 months. HTTPBot also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 79) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). Screen Mirroring's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTTPBot sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Screen Mirroring sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for HTTPBot against 4.5 for Screen Mirroring. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTPBot has 1.3K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two.

HTTPBot ships an update every 2 weeks, Screen Mirroring every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
