# Screen Mirroring vs Screening Mirror

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Screening Mirror at 100% against Screen Mirroring's 24%. Screening Mirror also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Screen Mirroring's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (270 vs 45). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Screening Mirror sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
