Chromecast alternative questions

Yes. LocalCast uses DLNA/UPnP in addition to Google Cast, so you can stream to any Smart TV, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox, Apple TV, and hundreds of other devices without needing a Chromecast dongle at all.

LocalCast supports over 200 device types including Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL, and Vizio Smart TVs, Roku players, Amazon Fire TV Stick and Cube, Xbox consoles, Apple TV, NVIDIA Shield, projectors, and any DLNA-compatible receiver.

LocalCast’s DLNA engine is highly optimized and works reliably across brands. While Chromecast uses Google Cast protocol, DLNA is a universal standard built into virtually every Smart TV since 2012. LocalCast supports both protocols, so you always get the best connection available.

No. LocalCast is free to download on Android and iOS. If your TV or streaming device already supports DLNA (most Smart TVs do), you can start casting immediately without buying any additional hardware.
