9 Best Screen Mirroring Apps of 2026

Reflector 4 is the most flexible receiver on this list for a mixed room of devices. Squirrels LLC sells it as a way to turn a Mac or PC into an AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast receiver, so an iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Chromebook can mirror using the casting button it already has. The pricing page lists support for AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Miracast, along with the option to record or broadcast a device's screen, which suits teachers and streamers. The license is a one-time purchase per device with no subscription, and Squirrels offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and instant download. A universal license covers either macOS or Windows, and separate Mac only and Windows only licenses are listed. The trade-off is that every receiving computer needs its own license, and volume buyers are sent to sales. Prices load through a checkout script that did not return USD from our location, so the price is pending. We compared documented features and published prices.

AirDroid Cast is the best value paid receiver here. The free plan casts screens between devices on the same Wi-Fi network, and the Basic plan, $19.99 a year or $2.49 month to month, adds casting across different networks, a USB connection and an AirPlay receiver on the computer. That remote option matters if you want to show a phone to someone on a call or in another office. Connections start with a QR code or a 9-digit code, and the computer can show up to 5 device screens at once. The Standard plan at $29.99 a year adds control of Android and iOS devices with a mouse and keyboard, and a Team plan manages member accounts for $359.99 a year. There is an Android TV app for TVs on Android 5.0 and higher. The catch is that control features sit one tier up, and USB casting handles one Android plus one iOS device at a time. We compared documented features and published prices.

AirServer is the most widely deployed style of receiver here, with versions for Windows 10 and 11, older Windows, Mac, Xbox, Surface Hub and embedded Linux. The PC edition receives AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast streams one by one or at the same time, so iPhones, Android phones, Chromebooks and Windows laptops can all connect without installing a third party app. The Windows Desktop Edition is a sandboxed Microsoft Store app that AirServer says delivers 60 FPS AirPlay mirroring with CPU use that rarely exceeds 10% on Intel hardware. Smart Layouts tile several sessions on one screen, and the YouTube Live certification with webcam picture-in-picture suits teachers and gamers. A fully featured 30-day trial is free. Licenses come in Consumer, Business and Educational versions, and business use needs the Business License. The store showed prices in EUR from our location, so the USD price is pending.

LetsView is the easiest free starting point for mirroring between everyday devices. It has apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad, Android and Android TV, and supports AirPlay, DLNA and its own AMCast protocol, so you can put a phone on a PC or TV, or a PC on a phone. The free Basic plan includes unlimited mirroring time over Wi-Fi, but caps output at SD, 30fps, a 4M bitrate and one connection. Pro lifts those to FHD, 60fps and 8M, allows 5 connections, removes the watermark, adds Android control from a PC and permits commercial use. A newer Windows release added screen extension, which turns a phone or iPad into a second monitor. Remote mirroring over different networks is billed separately by usage time, which LetsView's own FAQ confirms.

Mirroring360 is the cheapest one-time receiver we could verify in USD. Splashtop sells a Standard license for $11.99, marked down from a regular $14.99, and you buy one for each Mac or Windows PC you want to mirror to. iPhones and iPads need no app because the computer appears in the AirPlay list, while Android uses the free Mirroring360 Sender Basic app and Chromebooks use a free Chrome extension. The Standard license can be moved to a new computer one time. The Pro subscription at $29.99 a year, regularly $49.99, adds sharing a Windows computer screen through a web link with up to 40 viewers, unlimited license moves and phone support. Schools and companies can buy a large deployment license with an .msi package and a single key. A 7-day trial lets you check performance first. The limits are that Android needs an extra app and Pro runs on Windows only. We compared documented features and published prices.

scrcpy is the free pick for Android owners, and its own documentation is unusually specific about performance. The project, maintained by Genymobile on GitHub, mirrors video and audio from an Android device connected over USB or TCP/IP and lets you control it with the computer's keyboard and mouse. It lists 30 to 120fps depending on the device, 1920x1080 or above, 35 to 70 ms latency and about 1 second to the first image. Nothing is installed on the phone, root is not required, and there is no account, ad or internet requirement. Features include audio forwarding on Android 11 and later, recording, camera mirroring on Android 12 and later, copy and paste both ways, virtual displays and gamepad support. The device needs Android 5.0 or later. The trade-offs are real: it does not support iPhones, it mirrors to a computer rather than a TV, and setup relies on USB debugging, which takes more steps than a store app. We compared documented features and published prices.

Vysor puts an iPhone or Android phone in a window on your computer so you can use apps, type with a desktop keyboard and point and click with a mouse. It runs in a browser or as an app on Windows, Mac and Linux. The free version covers mirroring and control of iOS and Android plus screenshots. Vysor Pro adds high quality mirroring, fullscreen mode, wireless connection, drag and drop file transfer and Vysor Share, which gives screen and ADB access to a remote device through a link. Pro is cheap: $2.50 a month, $10 a year or $40 for a lifetime license, bought inside the app, and enterprise licensing is offered. Vysor pitches itself to Android developers as a way to work on a physical device with the convenience of an emulator. The limits are that free users get lower quality and a cable only, and it is built for showing a phone on a computer rather than a TV. We compared documented features and published prices.

AirParrot 3 solves the opposite problem from the receivers on this list: it sends a computer screen to a TV. Squirrels LLC sells it for macOS and Windows, and it mirrors the whole screen, extends the desktop onto a receiver as an extra monitor, or streams media files in 5.1 surround sound. Targets include Apple TV, Chromecast, computers running Reflector 4 and AirPlay speakers, and it can send to several at once, for example audio around the house. Quick Connect and Bluetooth discovery help find receivers on networks where normal discovery is blocked, which is common in schools and offices. An optional AirParrot Remote app for iPhone and iPad controls what is being sent. The license is a one-time purchase per device with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Squirrels offers it in a bundle with Reflector 4. It does not receive phone screens, so most phone owners need a receiver instead. Prices load through a checkout script and are pending. We compared documented features and published prices.

ApowerMirror is a two-way tool that mirrors phones to a computer or TV and lets you control Android from a PC. Apowersoft says it mirrors up to 4 devices to a PC at once, by USB or Wi-Fi, and its preset virtual keys let you play mobile games with a keyboard and mouse without an emulator. It also records the phone screen, takes screenshots, casts a PC screen to a phone and includes a whiteboard for presentations. The free version works but adds watermarks. Personal pricing on the store was promotional when we checked: $19.95 monthly, $39.95 for a year with a second year free, and $69.95 for a lifetime license, against list prices of $29.9, $69.9 and $199.9. Business plans start at $79.95 a year. Annual and lifetime plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, monthly plans 7 days. The value score reflects that the regular prices are much higher than rivals such as AirDroid Cast. We compared documented features and published prices.
