[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.

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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Epson iProjection at none against Orbit's 2. Epson iProjection also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Orbit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
