Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Printer App at 4.2 against POS's 3.0. Printer App also leads on ratings volume (97 vs 28). POS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Printer App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. POS asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printer App holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 97 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of POS's written reviews are positive against 14% of Printer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
