Here’s my take on this. AirDroid is certainly a capable all-in-one solution, but what’s “better” really depends on your primary use case.
If you’re looking for something simpler, focused mainly on notifications and quick file/link sharing, Pushbullet is a great, streamlined option. Another strong contender is Join, which offers similar functionality but with deeper customization, especially if you use Tasker. Its one-time purchase model is also appealing to many.
On the other hand, if your main goal is screen mirroring and direct control from a computer, an app like Vysor is more specialized and might provide a smoother experience for that specific task. Each tool has its trade-offs; AirDroid tries to do everything, while others excel in specific areas. It’s worth considering which features you’ll use most often.
