Verdict
PrintKit and Bluetooth Thermal Printer App both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 43% of Bluetooth Thermal Printer App's written reviews are positive against 0% of PrintKit's. Bluetooth Thermal Printer App also leads on ratings volume (257 vs 2). PrintKit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bluetooth Thermal Printer App sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PrintKit asks for nothing beyond the download.
PrintKit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluetooth Thermal Printer App has 257 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PrintKit's written reviews are positive against 43% of Bluetooth Thermal Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PrintKit ships an update fortnightly, Bluetooth Thermal Printer App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
