# ApowerMirror vs Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV at 4.2 against ApowerMirror's 2.8. Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). ApowerMirror's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ApowerMirror sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.1K and 711 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of ApowerMirror's written reviews are positive against 32% of Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV'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・View Smart TV fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
