# Multicast vs Screen Mirroring

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Multicast at none against Screen Mirroring's 3. Screen Mirroring's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Multicast asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Multicast against 4.4 for Screen Mirroring. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Multicast ships an update every 4 months, Screen Mirroring every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
