Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cal Printer at 92% against QRat's 44%. Cal Printer also leads on ratings volume (806 vs 1). QRat's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cal Printer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QRat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QRat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cal Printer has 806 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Cal Printer's written reviews are positive against 44% of QRat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cal Printer ships an update every 3 weeks, QRat every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
