Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring at 4.3 against Smart Share's 2.8. Screen Mirroring also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 26) and review sentiment (10% vs 0%). Smart Share's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
