Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: TV Cast at free with in-app purchases against Castify's subscription. TV Cast also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Castify's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (52% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Cast sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $23.99 per year and Castify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TV Cast holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 106 and 476 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of TV Cast's written reviews are positive against 52% of Castify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
