Nearscreen

Nearscreen mirrors your iPhone screen to a computer on the same Wi-Fi network. One tap — and your screen appears on your desktop. Nothing ever leaves your local network. HOW IT WORKS 1. Run the free Nearscreen receiver on your computer (download at https://nearscreen.app/receiver). 2. Open Nearscreen on your iPhone — it finds receivers on your network automatically. 3. Tap the broadcast button and choose "Start Broadcast". To stop, tap the red status indicator or simply lock your phone. ON A NETWORK THAT HIDES DEVICES Offices, dorms and guest Wi-Fi often block the discovery traffic that lets the phone find your computer. The receiver shows a QR code for exactly this: point the Camera app at it and Nearscreen opens pointed straight at that computer. You can also type the address by hand. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your video is streamed only to a receiver on your own network • No cloud, no servers, no accounts • No analytics, no tracking — we collect no data at all FAST AND EFFICIENT • Hardware H.264 encoding — smooth motion, low battery drain • Low-latency streaming over your local network • Keeps broadcasting while you use other apps or lock into a game GOOD FOR • Showing your phone on a bigger screen in meetings and classrooms • Demoing and testing apps • Streaming mobile gameplay to your desktop setup • Any moment when screen mirroring should stay strictly on your own network Nearscreen requires the Nearscreen receiver application on your computer (Windows and macOS, free): https://nearscreen.app/receiver

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Life Wireless at 3 against Nearscreen's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
