[Notes] • For supported projectors, visit https://support.epson.net/projector_appinfo/iprojection/en/. You can also check "Supported Projectors" in the app's support menu. • While mirroring your device’s screen, video and audio may be delayed depending on the device and network specifications. Only unprotected content can be projected. • Use the mirroring feature to project videos in the "Photos" app. [About Projecting Documents] • The following file types are supported when projecting using "Documents". - Microsoft® Word - Microsoft® Excel - Microsoft® PowerPoint - Keynote - PDF - JPG - PNG - The file types mentioned above are also supported when stored in cloud file services • Depending on the document, the projected image may differ from the image on the computer or at the time of creation, for example, some characters may not be projected correctly. If this occurs, use the mirroring feature ("Mirror device screen") instead. • Animations and screen transition effects, videos, and audio are not played. Use the mirroring feature to play them. • We recommend testing the projection in advance when using this app for presentations. [Using the App] Make sure that the network settings for the projector have been completed. 1. Switch the input source on the projector to "LAN". Network information is displayed. 2.

The SMART hardware and software solutions sometimes require access to special websites or ports, for example for functions such as automatic updates or wireless screen sharing. As soon as your smartphone is in the same network as the SMART solution, the SMART ServiceCheck app can test for you whether all of these releases and ports are permitted in the network to be used or whether they are blocked by a firewall. If this is the case, the SMART ServiceCheck app names the corresponding URLs or ports that still need to be allowed in the network so that SMART solutions such as SMART Lumio™, SMART Learning Suite™ or SMART Mirror of the SMART Board® interactive displays works perfectly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SMART ServiceCheck at 5.0 against Epson iProjection's 4.3. Epson iProjection's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SMART ServiceCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson iProjection has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
