# Castify vs Screen Mirroring in ChromeCast

The clearest difference is rating: Castify at 4.1 against Screen Mirroring in ChromeCast's 1.0. Castify also leads on ratings volume (474 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Screen Mirroring in ChromeCast's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Screen Mirroring in ChromeCast sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Castify holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Castify has 474 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
