Spec score 8.5 #6 of 30 in Screen Sharing Software

What it is

AirServer turns a computer into a receiver for screen mirroring from compatible AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast devices. Receiver software is listed for Windows, Mac, Xbox, Surface Hub, and Embedded Linux, while the platform listing also includes Android, iOS, and Linux. AirServer Connect for iOS discovers receivers across subnets, and its Android app adds AirPlay mirroring. Connect 3 combines AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Miracast in one receiver, supporting up to 12 simultaneous 1080p sessions at 60 FPS, with unlimited sessions beyond that. It supports Google Cast playback from DRM-protected apps including Disney+, National Geographic, and Amazon Prime. Sessions stay local, and 802.1X protection is supported. Central management, reporting, and updates require no subscription fee; offline updates can use USB. Most licenses are one-time purchases. Consumer pricing is $19.99 once, business is $39.99 once, and Surface Hub is $99.99 per year.
