Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: El Segundo Connect at none against Casting Networks's 1. El Segundo Connect also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). Casting Networks's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
