Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Air Projector at none against Projector Stream's 1. Air Projector also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 53%). Projector Stream's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
