Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Epson Creative Projection at 4.3 against EZCast's 2.1. Epson Creative Projection also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). EZCast's advantage is ratings volume (899 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epson Creative Projection holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EZCast has 899 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of EZCast's written reviews are positive against 0% of Epson Creative Projection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EZCast ships an update every 2 months, Epson Creative Projection every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
