Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring at 4.5 against XMirror's 3.0. Screen Mirroring also leads on ratings volume (53K vs 14). XMirror's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (45% vs 12%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and XMirror sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 53K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 45% of XMirror's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screen Mirroring ships an update every 3 months, XMirror every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
