Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Cast at 4.3 against Chromecast Video Cast's 3.7. Tiny Cast also leads on ratings volume (72 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Chromecast Video Cast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiny Cast holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Cast has 72 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Tiny Cast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chromecast Video Cast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiny Cast ships an update every 2 weeks, Chromecast Video Cast monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
