Is Soljacast a good alternative to ScreenBeam?

For mixed-device venues and events, yes. Soljacast casts from any browser regardless of platform, so Apple devices are first class, and it adds live AI translation and rich media. ScreenBeam is well suited to Windows-first enterprise fleets.

Does Soljacast rely on Miracast like ScreenBeam?

No. Soljacast casts through the browser, so it does not depend on a device's native casting support and works the same across phones and laptops.
