# URLCast vs Screen Share

The clearest difference is rating: URLCast at 5.0 against Screen Share's 4.5. Screen Share's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

URLCast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Share has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

URLCast ships an update every 6 weeks, Screen Share every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
