We’ve all seen how well Chromecast works to cast our content directly through your phone. Whether its Netflix, YouTube, Spotify or even Amazon Music, Chromecast has the ability to cast pretty much any media you want. In response to that, Amazon brings its new Alexa Cast in the market.
Alexa Cast is an audio-based cast which works with Amazon Music. You can simply connect to your Echo device and start playing music. The problem we all face here is that it only works with Amazon Music, i.e. you can’t stream any of your favorite music services directly to your Echo device and you’re locked into Amazon’s offerings. And in order to use that, you need an Amazon Music subscription too.
Alexa Cast works with any Alexa-enabled device. That means it supports Echo speakers, third-party Alexa products, and some of the Fire devices. It can be a good competitor when it opens to more offers and usage like the Chromecast.
