# Screen Mirroring vs Encryptor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Screen Mirroring at free with in-app purchases against Encryptor's subscription. Screen Mirroring also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (270 vs 29). Encryptor's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 24%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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 Encryptor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 270 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 57% of Encryptor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Mirroring ships an update every 2 months, Encryptor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
