Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Castify at 52% against Screen Mirroring's 10%. Castify also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Screen Mirroring's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (59K vs 474). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Castify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 59K ratings behind it against 474, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 52% of Castify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Screen Mirroring ships an update every 3 weeks, Castify weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
