Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring at 4.5 against SMART Mirror's 2.9. Screen Mirroring also leads on ratings volume (53K vs 17). SMART Mirror's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 53K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 21% of SMART Mirror's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
