In their own words
AirDroid Cast
AirDroid Cast shares phone and computer screens with larger displays and can let users control mobile devices from a computer. Wireless connections use a QR code, a 9-digit code, or AirPlay; USB can cast mobile devices to computers. Casting works over local Wi-Fi or remotely over Wi-Fi or cellular networks, with device audio sharing and two-way audio. Wireless casting can receive up to five device screens at once on one Windows or Mac computer. The product also supports screen recording and mobile screen sharing, and can cast to Android TV running Android 5.0 or higher. It is available for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The web version cannot control phones; that requires the desktop client. A free account supports same-WLAN casting and one simultaneous login, but not remote-network mirroring. Paid plans add capabilities at different levels. Pricing is listed as a free plan, paid from $1.67/mo (annual), with a 3-day trial. The maker says remote sessions use end-to-end AES encryption and do not store transmitted content on its server.
