AirServer Connect holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirServer Connect has 257 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of AirServer Connect's written reviews are positive against 50% of AirSync Sender's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AirServer Connect ships an update fortnightly, AirSync Sender monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
