Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring at 4.4 against ApowerMirror's 2.8. Screen Mirroring also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). ApowerMirror's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (40% vs 28%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ApowerMirror sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Screen Mirroring sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 958 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of ApowerMirror's written reviews are positive against 28% of Screen Mirroring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ApowerMirror ships an update every 6 weeks, Screen Mirroring every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
