# Plink vs Screen Mirroring

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.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Plink asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

Plink ships an update every 2 months, Screen Mirroring fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
