# AirDroid Cast vs ZapLock

The clearest difference is update cadence: ZapLock at every 3 days against AirDroid Cast's every 4 months. ZapLock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). AirDroid Cast's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirDroid Cast sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and ZapLock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ZapLock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirDroid Cast has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AirDroid Cast ships an update every 4 months, ZapLock every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
