# Brook.app vs Klipper | OctoPrint

The clearest difference is rating: Klipper | OctoPrint at 4.9 against Brook.app's 4.3. Klipper | OctoPrint also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 177). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brook.app sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Klipper | OctoPrint sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Klipper | OctoPrint holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Klipper | OctoPrint has 1.1K ratings behind it against 177, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Brook.app's written reviews are positive against 83% of Klipper | OctoPrint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brook.app ships an update every 6 weeks, Klipper | OctoPrint every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
