Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CloudPrint at free against Google Cloud's free with in-app purchases. CloudPrint also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 17.0). Google Cloud's advantage is ratings volume (103 vs 13). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Google Cloud holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cloud has 103 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of CloudPrint's written reviews are positive against 30% of Google Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
