Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screen Mirroring・Cast・Mirror at 61% against Screen Mirroring Smart Screen's 15%. Screen Mirroring・Cast・Mirror also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Screen Mirroring Smart Screen's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Mirroring Smart Screen holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring・Cast・Mirror has 28K ratings behind it against 640, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Screen Mirroring・Cast・Mirror's written reviews are positive against 15% of Screen Mirroring Smart Screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screen Mirroring・Cast・Mirror ships an update weekly, Screen Mirroring Smart Screen every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
