# Screen Mirroring App vs Smart View

The clearest difference is rating: Smart View at 4.3 against Screen Mirroring App's 3.9. Smart View also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Screen Mirroring App's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 44%) and ratings volume (29K vs 5.4K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart View sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smart View holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring App has 29K ratings behind it against 5.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Screen Mirroring App's written reviews are positive against 44% of Smart View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Mirroring App ships an update every 3 months, Smart View every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
