# Wireless Display Adapter vs CastOn

The clearest difference is rating: CastOn at 4.5 against Wireless Display Adapter's 1.0. CastOn also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wireless Display Adapter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CastOn sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CastOn holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CastOn has 5.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Wireless Display Adapter's written reviews are positive against 37% of CastOn's.

Wireless Display Adapter ships an update every 4 months, CastOn every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
