Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Epson Setting Assistant holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson Setting Assistant has 464 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of MultiPresenter's written reviews are positive against 23% of Epson Setting Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MultiPresenter ships an update every 6 months, Epson Setting Assistant every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
