# AirPlay Screen Mirroring vs Hidden Camera

The clearest difference is ads: AirPlay Screen Mirroring at none against Hidden Camera's shown. Hidden Camera's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirPlay Screen Mirroring sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Hidden Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 786 and 369 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of AirPlay Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 14% of Hidden Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
