Unlike Airflow, Videostream does have a free tier. The video will begin almost instantaneously. Once the app has located the Chromecast on your network, starting video playback is as easy as selecting the video you want to watch via the in-app browser. Once again, the setup process is fast and painless. At the time of writing, it offers more than 400.
Videostream makes our list primarily because of the impressive list of supported video and audio codecs. The web app is still supported, but we do not recommend using it. It used to only be available as a web app, but a desktop version was released in mid-2018. The other Chromecast app for Mac that's worth considering is Videostream.
