Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Plink at 5.0 against Screen Mirroring's 4.3. Plink also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). Screen Mirroring's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Plink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 148 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Plink's written reviews are positive against 17% of Screen Mirroring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Plink ships an update every 2 months, Screen Mirroring fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
