AirDroid Cast review

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.
