Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Screen mirroring at 4.1 against EZCast's 2.1. Screen mirroring also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). EZCast's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Screen mirroring sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. EZCast asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen mirroring holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 899 and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of EZCast's written reviews are positive against 12% of Screen mirroring'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, Screen mirroring every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
