Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zip Printer at none against Crossi's 13. Zip Printer also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 445) and review sentiment (27% vs 13%). Crossi's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
