AirMirror Vs. AirDroid Personal: What is the Difference?

Before diving into the features differentiating AirMirror and AirDroid Personal, we will discuss how each of the two apps helps access an Android or Apple device from a phone or PC. Besides, we will summarize the main differences between the two apps in a table.

AirMirror

As mentioned earlier, AirMirror is an app that lets you remotely control a smartphone from another smartphone. You will not require AirMirror for PC or AirMirror for Windows if you want to control your one device from another device.

Let's put it in simple words. AirMirror is powerful enough to provide you with an all-in-one solution when it's about phone to phone. You can mirror your Android screen on another phone, remotely use another phone's camera, or access your phone's files, folder, etc. However, the remote control module is not available for iOS users. Besides, the remote support feature is more powerful and lets you manage devices for voice/text messages, VoIP calls, etc. In short, AirMirror is everything about controlling one phone from another phone.

AirDroid Personal

AirDroid Personal is a bigger and more powerful solution that is not just limited to accessing a device from another device. It's an all-in-one mobile management tool that lets you make calls send messages, transfer files, use a phone camera or mirror screen to a PC, share files without the internet, play mobile games on a larger screen, and whatnot. We can conclude that AirDroid Personal is a mobile management tool that provides solutions for users who want to access a phone from the web or PC.
