# EZCast vs Screen Mirroring

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Mirroring at 4.3 against EZCast's 2.1. Screen Mirroring also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 898) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). EZCast's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. EZCast asks for nothing beyond the download.

Screen Mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 59K ratings behind it against 898, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of EZCast's written reviews are positive against 10% of Screen Mirroring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EZCast ships an update every 2 months, Screen Mirroring every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
