TV Mirror+ for Chromecast is the easy screen sharing tool to mirror your iPhone or iPad screen and sound on Chromecast in Full HD Quality. Mirror photos, videos, games, websites, apps, presentations, documents and spreadsheets on Chromecast. * Supported Chromecasts: Chromecast, Chromecast Ultra and all generations of the Chromecast family * Supported TVs and other devices: Xiaomi MI Box, NVIDIA Shield TV and all TVs with Google Cast or Chromecast built-in, e.g. Sony, TCL, Vizio, Sharp, Philips, Hisense, Skyworth, Soniq * Your iPhone/iPad and your Chromecast must be connected to the same wifi to enable screen mirroring. Please do not use VPN, Proxy, VLANS and Subnets. * Latency is supreme (below 1 second) when you have good wifi network conditions * No hidden subscriptions or costs * If a third party app, for example Spotify, does not mirror sound correctly, please FORCE CLOSE and restart Spotify while the mirroring session is active. Please check the Apple Support page to learn how to FORCE CLOSE an app: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201330 * Black screen issues: Some third party apps prevent screen mirroring. When you try to mirror them, you will just see a black screen on your TV, for example with Netflix and Disney+. This is a restriction chosen by Netflix and others, so we cannot fix it at the moment. If you like the app and our constant work on it, please give the app a positive rating on the App Store. Many thanks in advance from the development & support team.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cast for Chromecast at Free against Screen Mirroring + Chromecast's $9.99. Cast for Chromecast also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). Screen Mirroring + Chromecast's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (25% vs 14%). On rating, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
