Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. SMART Mirror asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
